SWARM Demonstration

The event will provide an overview of intelligent vehicles research focusing on the SWARM project (Self-organising Wide area Autonomous vehicle Real time Marshalling), an Innovate UK-funded collaborative project led by Aurrigo in partnership with WMG and Milton Keynes Council. The SWARM concept is based on Swarm Intelligence - what bees or ants do when part of a colony - to enable real-time, collaborative supervision of pods where individual Pods are locally supervised, not only by cameras or humans, but by neighbouring Pods in the Swarm colony. This will maintain safety and make autonomous urban transport more efficient, working as part of an existing city transport system.
