We are the Florida
Peninsula Chapter of the AUVSI
We are a local chapter of the AUVSI, the Association for
Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, the professional society for autonomous
and tele-operated robotic vehicles development. The
full name of our local chapter is the Florida Peninsula Chapter, and our
chapter serves the entire peninsula region of Florida, centered around Orlando.
We seek to work together to improve life for all people, through the
development of mobile robotics science, engineering and technology. To
accomplish this, we want to reach out to the communities of scientists,
engineers, businesses, non-profits, and educators, and bring together these
groups to create technologies which will make the world a better place for
everyone.
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) is the
world's largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to advancing the
unmanned systems community. AUVSI, with members from government organizations,
industry and academia, is committed to fostering, developing, and promoting
unmanned systems and related technologies.
By providing opportunities for information exchange, networking and business
development, AUVSI forums are the best resource for simply learning about
unmanned systems or for staying abreast of the latest program and technology
updates.
Welcome!
