Autonomous Systems

TCP Sistemas e Ingeniería activities in the On-board Software, control systems and autonomy field are focused to the development of real-time software for safety-critical systems. Specific applications are within control systems and autonomy. Our development capability in the technologies linked to this activity is based on the expertise reached under different projects in the aerospace and industrial sectors, as well as in the leadership in different R&D projects at national and international levels.

The achievements of TCPsi in this scope concentrate on critical on-board software development for autonomous vehicles. This software mainly implies the navigation subsystems of such as platforms, from visual subsystem to complete navigation module. We have been involved in international projects for planetary exploration rovers OBSW development and integration, validating and industrializing our solutions in real hardware platforms, and giving advice to the enterprises responsible of the missions.

In addition, TCPsi is highly active in consortiums, mainly with universities and research institutions to support the research, development and implementation of robust and autonomous vision-based navigation. The navigation systems and autonomy improvements addresses two scopes: exploration ground vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Another successful use case of control systems are our solutions for unmanned aerial vehicles, based on a continuous R&D activities.
