Welcome to LUCAS
Welcome to the website for Loughborough University Centre for Autonomous System (LUCAS), based at Loughborough University. LUCAS is a specialised research group, focusing on research in aerospace control. Comprised of both students and research professionals, LUCAS has strong links to many industrial partners and primarily works on research for unmanned applications. In addition to industry-backed research, a large part of LUCAS is post-graduate study, allowing for an investigation into areas not currently commercially explored.
Our specific areas of interest include:
- Advanced Automation and Control
- Estimation, Tracking and Decision Making
- Robotic Information Gathering
- Machine Learning and AI
- Computer Vision
See Research for more details
We are always looking for passionate new students (PhD and MSc/MEng) and post-docs to join the team (more info)

We are grateful for funding from UKRI, EPSRC, Newton Fund, dstl.
