The Use of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Urban Airspace Design and Next-Generation UTM Services

When

13/05

12:00pm – 12:25pm

Location

Wing Theatre

 

Event details

The rapid growth of drone (UAS) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operations in urban environments is pushing airspace management systems to their limits. In this presentation, we will share ongoing projects at ENAC Airbus Sopra Steria Drones and the UTM Research Chair that focus on innovative research in dynamic airspace design and advanced UTM services. Among several topics, we will highlight our recent achievements in data-driven airspace reconfiguration—using both machine learning and bio-inspired approaches—and discuss real-time and fast-time simulation techniques integrated with advanced UTM services for stress testing the overall system.

Attendees will gain insights into the challenges of dynamic airspace design, including the feasibility of safe transition methods and rapid information exchange among airspace users. We will also showcase our findings from bio-inspired methodologies, such as ant-colony and slime-mold algorithms, to illustrate how they can inform airspace design and enable smoother transitions during dynamic modifications. Finally, we will ground our discussion with insights from our industrial partner SopraSteria, addressing social acceptability and its impact on the UAM market.

Join us to explore how the integration of AI/ML, drone dynamics, robotics, and bio-inspired methods is shaping the future of urban airspace, redefining what is possible in UTM, and opening dialogue on societal acceptance.

Key Takeaways:

 •           Understand the challenges and limitations of current urban airspace management approaches.
 •           Learn about the UTM Chair’s concepts and practical applications for dynamic airspace design.
 •           Discover how bio-inspired technologies can offer novel solutions to optimize airspace allocation and enhance safety.
 •           Observe demonstrations of UTM services supporting dynamic airspace management.
 •           Explore how drones can fulfill citizens’ expectations in terms of urban mobility.
