Although we deal with Earth-based autonomous vehicles at Darwin, our work often extends into space. Our vehicle connectivity technology uses satellites to fill gaps in network coverage, and many of our achievements, including the Darwin Autonomous Shuttle at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, were made possible with the support of the European Space Agency.
At the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), we’ll be speaking about how our work with space connects to our implementation of self-driving vehicles in ports. Our paper ‘From Space Systems to Smart Ports: Infrastructure Insights for Autonomous Operations’, written by Darwin’s co-founder Dr Daniela Petrovic with support from the Darwin team, will be presented at the IAC with a question-and-answer session afterwards.
The 2026 IAC is taking place from 5 to 9 October at the NEST Congress & Exhibition Centre in Antalya, Turkey. Darwin’s presentation is scheduled for 10.15 am on Wednesday 7 October, as part of the IAF Symposium on Integrated Applications. You’ll be able to hear us speaking in Hall 28.
If you’re attending the IAC and you’d like to schedule a meeting with the Darwin team, drop us an email at [email protected] with the subject line ‘IAC 2026’.
Darwin Innovation Group is a UK-based company that provides setup services for self-driving vehicles. If you’d like to know how we can help your organisation make use of autonomous vehicles, contact us. You can also follow us on LinkedIn or Twitter.
