We have secured funding for equipment, stipends, and travel, in order to further strengthen our collaboration network.

Moreover, the project will enable the proper and effective use of the Quanser Self Driving Car Studio which was awarded recently to UTFSM and UAI in a Fondequip project.

We believe that this grant will provide an excellent opportunity to tackle the diverse challenges faced by the intelligent transportation systems of the future.
