The technology we developed to enable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLoS) drone control was used on Vodafone Italy’s 5G experimental deployment in Milano to pilot a drone 15 KM away. The trial made it to the press at several venues, including Wired, La Nazione, and Il Sole 24 Ore. The specialist drone magazine DroneItaly also featured an article.

 

About

At NESLab we explore how to build the foundation of the intelligent Internet of Things across Earth and Space. We combine theories, designs, implementations, and real deployments.

We have strong ties with the RI.SE Research Institutes of Sweden and Uppasala University. We are also proud of our international collaborations, including ETH Zurich (Switzerland), Tsinghua University (China), LUMS (Pakistan), TU Delft (the Netherlands), TU Dresden (Germany), University of Virginia (US), and Warwick University (UK), which allow students to spend periods abroad.

NESLab started in 2016 as part of the advanced software architectures research line at the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria of Politecnico di Milano and runs also thanks to the support of Google, Intel, Texas Instruments, Microsoft, STMicroelectronics, and Vodafone.d.
