About us
The center aims to develop multi-disciplinary solutions for more convenient, secure, and efficient uses of unmanned vehicles particularly in a metropolitan area such as Seoul. In future, we expect that lots of self-driving cars move on the streets and huge number of drones fly in the air even in complex metropolitan areas of high buildings and many peoples. Are we or actually, is our city ready for this situation? Maybe not! We have to be prepared. We derive any possible issues or problems in terms of law and regulation as well as technology, and develop appropriate solutions in advance by performing multi-disciplinary projects with industries, national research institutes, and local and central governments. The solution is validated in a test-bed established inside Seoul, and expanded to other metropolitan cities.
