Welcome
to ARRI's Distributed Intelligence & Autonomy Lab (DIAL) webpage.
The mission of the research group is to study distributed autonomous
systems for environmental monitoring applications in poorly structured
environments. Thanks to powerful lab capabilities (including ground and
aerial mobile platforms and sensor motes), a wide variety of experiments
are currently being performed to test innovative control algorithms in
real-world scenarios.
