Autonomous systems primarily rely on absolute position data for navigation, future applications will also use it to share sensor data with other systems and the infrastructure. Moreover, accurate absolute positioning will play a growing role in evaluating and testing autonomous systems as well as in collecting training data for the development of AI and machine learning algorithms.

Sustainable materials combined with 3D printing or additive manufacturing, allows resource-efficient production to become more efficient. But for companies to be able to fully utilize the strength of the technology, support is needed in every step along the supply chain ranging from development of business models to product design and testing in a real production environment. Therefore, RISE is opening up the Application Center for Additive ...

The Nordic countries are joining forces to drive the development of drone transports for both goods and passengers. The Nordic Drone Initiative (NDI) will pave the way for new sustainable business models. It can be about air-taxis, autonomous courier services or new tourist concepts.

Researchers at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden have conducted the country´s first aerial food delivery. The flight was autonomous and beyond line of sight. The drone flew from a restaurant on the outskirts of Linköping city and into Linköping University.
