About AVAC Unit

The Autonomous Vehicles, Autotronics, and Control (AVAC) Unit of the Advanced Engineering Innovation Research Group (AEIRG) is a sub-group that deals with research and development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The group applies linear and nonlinear control engineering principles in the design and fabrication of AVs and UGVs for various sectors across the academic, industrial, and commercial spectrum. The group will develop AV control schemes for transport, agriculture, security, education, and health sectors.

Vision
