Mainly located at the HTSE for Telecommunications, and active since 1981, our Research Group currently consists of 20 professors and pre-doctorate researchers, some visiting researchers, and a variable number of degree and masters students, who take part in different research work relating to Air Traffic Control and Management and Smart Space Technology and Services. With a confirmed vocation to collaborate with industry, the Group seeks to research technologies of social and economic interest that allow us to develop new products and services.

Our lines of research are as follows:
- Statistical signal analysis, multi-sensor fusion and simulation
- Pattern optimisation and recognition techniques
- Radar processing and air traffic control
- Positioning and tracking systems
- Context management and recommendation technologies
- Advanced interaction and personalisation systems
- Apps for smart environments
- Mobility apps
- User experience assessment methodologies
Using horizontal sensor fusion and data processing techniques, we research the state of the art in areas such as Air Traffic Control and Management (ATC/ATM) and Systems for Smart Spaces.
- Location and Mobile Communication
- radar Processing and air traffic control
- Sensor fusion
- Services for the Information Society
- Surveillance and Prospective Technological Studies
The Group has a steady track record of taking part in many research projects and contracts and vast experience in collaborating with, and transferring technology to, companies. In the field of ATC/ATM, we collaborate with the main companies and public agencies in the aeronautical sector (INDRA, AENA, Eurocontrol and Boeing, etc.) and take active part in defining current and future air traffic control and management systems (e.g., the SESAR Programme).
We develop techniques to improve efficiency in the use of the runway and on the ground (safety nets), to make roll out of remote towers possible, facilitate the use of low-cost sensors for tracking and roll out tracking and separation systems on the final approach. To complement the research we do on Systems for Smart Spaces, since 2013 the Group has a "Future Spaces Experience Laboratory", with the aim of improving assessment of technological results by users in a connected space, constructed under the paradigm of the Internet of Things, and equipped with advanced sensor, actuator and visualisation technologies and smart objects and robotics. We install advanced prototypes of new concepts in environmental interaction and management in this Lab that, for example, facilitate identification and control with gestures (GENIE system) or using mobiles (PERSEO), that augment the environment using virtual windows (VIEW) or using tablets (HOOPOE), or that permit interaction in a natural way (e.g., POINT2ACT), etc. For, and with, businesses, we have developed multi-sensor localisation technologies (with cameras, radio frequency sensors, etc.) in interiors and various platforms.
