About

Maarten Uijt de Haag is a leading researcher in the field of navigation and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on the challenging domain of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS). His work is centered on developing robust navigation solutions for sUAS operating in GPS-denied and complex environments, such as urban canyons and tunnels. A key contribution is his research on "Modelling Assured Navigation of sUAS Swarms in Urban Environments," which explores how swarms of drones can leverage sensor observations—including cameras, laser point clouds, and radar—to maintain absolute positioning in cluttered cityscapes. He has also pioneered navigation techniques for sUAS operating in tunnels, a critical capability for maintenance and surveillance operations where traditional satellite signals are unavailable. His comprehensive work on "Laser-Based Navigation" further underscores his expertise, detailing how laser sensors are used for pose estimation, collision avoidance, and mapping in both robotics and aerospace. With over a decade of contributions, Uijt de Haag’s research is essential for enabling safe, reliable autonomous flight in the most challenging real-world conditions, laying the groundwork for the next generation of urban air mobility and infrastructure inspection.
