The seminar focuses mainly on the experiments and measurement for unmanned autonomous systems (UAS). Firstly, the requirements and some basic concepts will be analyzed and introduced. And the architecture and platform for experimentation and testing of UAS will be summarized. Then, the cross-domain CPS technology based trend and new directions will be predicted for next decades. Some cases on system monitoring, digital twins, and UAS evaluation will be illustrated, which are ongoing in HIT. Finally, information on the School of Electronics and Information Engineering, HIT, will be briefly introduced.
