Vehicle Engineering and Autonomous Systems (VEAS)

Our research in vehicle analysis and robotics supports the development of transport systems that integrate safety, energy efficiency, driving experience, artificial intelligence, and automation across the road, rail, aviation, and maritime sectors. We also work on natural language processing, autonomous robots, and applications in health, sports, and environment monitoring. Through our research we aim to develop innovative solutions to challenges of societal relevance.

Our research groups

Our research is conducted in three research groups.

Our infrastructures

Applied AI Lab

The Applied AI Lab is a central resource for both our education and research activities. The lab specializes in autonomous systems and robotics, focusing on the development and testing of miniature vehicles, humanoid robots, and indoor drones. The equipment includes an advanced 3D localization system for precision navigation, 3D printers for rapid prototyping, and a wide range of sensors and electronics for use in complex robotics projects. The controlled indoor environment allows for reproducible experiments and validation of algorithms under realistic conditions.

Chalmers Revere

The Chalmers Revere laboratory specializes in research on autonomous systems, cyber-physical systems, active safety, and vehicle dynamics. Here, a realistic multi-modal testing environment is created to develop and evaluate advanced algorithms and technologies for self-driving vehicles. Through simulations and physical modeling, the lab enables deeper insights into how vehicles interact with their surroundings, which is crucial for improving safety and efficiency in future transportation systems.

Chalmers Revere is an important resource for driving and collaborating on innovation in the field and supporting the development of sustainable transportation solutions. The lab houses various types of vehicles, including road vehicles (including a truck), marine vehicles above and below the surface, as well as aerial drones.
