The Assuring Autonomy International Programme is guiding the safe development of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) across the globe. It is a £12million partnership between Lloyd’s Register Foundation and the University of York that is working with an international community of developers, regulators, researchers and others to ensure the public can benefit from the safe, assured and regulated introduction and adoption of RAS. The Programme is addressing core technical issues underlying the assurance of RAS, supporting industrial demonstrator projects, delivering training and education, and creating expert guidance that reflects the evolving state-of-practice in assuring and regulating RAS.
