Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) are joining forces with ARMINES, the research branch of the French École des Mines, to advance the state of the art in road automation — sensors, vehicle controls, robotics and pathway generation are all targeted.
This collaboration follows an agreement signed last year between SwRI and INRIA, the French National Institute for Information and Automation Research. The industry-oriented SWRI have been working with INRIA since 2005 on the LaRA Project — “La Route Automatisee” — to conduct joint research and development for intelligent transport systems.

The SwRI-ARMINES collaboration will conduct joint research and exchange intellectual property to foster rapid technology and system advancements in vehicle autonomy and road automation. SWRI are one of the United States’ oldest and largest non-profit applied research and development organizations.
