Research
What we do
At AVIA group, we’re pioneering learning-based UAV swarms—homogeneous and heterogeneous—to replace high-emission vehicles. Our swarms drive carbon reduction, supporting Saudi Arabia’s net-zero vision and enhancing KFUPM’s role in sustainable innovation.
Testing prototypes to enhance autonomy and reduce reliance on high-emission alternatives.
Developing intelligent control systems for UAVs, optimizing navigation, stability, and energy efficiency.
