We use drones and autonomous robots for geoscience applications, research and capacity-building projects.
The UAV Lab offers a unique environment for exploring the possibilities of unmanned aerial vehicles. Our fleet of drones is available for flying, giving students, researchers, and partners access to advanced platforms equipped with multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, and LiDAR sensors. To support safe and effective operations, the UAV Lab also has two skilled pilots available to assist with flights and training. These resources enable high-quality data collection for applications in agriculture, environmental monitoring, inspection, and beyond.
Working closely with the UAV Centre, the UAV Lab also supports the testing of new UAV technologies. Together, they provide state-of-the-art facilities where innovative systems, sensors, and applications are validated, and brought into practice. This combination of practical flying experience and cutting-edge research makes the UAV Lab a hub for education, innovation, and collaboration in drone technology.
