Southampton UAV is a research team consisting of academics, staff and post-graduate researchers/ students based at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment's Computational Engineering and Design Group. We are part of the Autonomous Systems research group, a University Strategic Research Group aiming to achieve a global top five reputation and provide continuity of funding for world-class science and research in the area of autonomous systems.
We design, manufacture and fly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from a research perspective.
