B32 Room 3079, Highfield Campus, University of Southampton Air traffic control is one of the most safety-critical roles in modern transport, relying on the expertise of highly trained controllers to guide aircraft safely to their destinations. Project Bluebird, a Prosperity Partnership between NATS, The Alan Turing Institute, and the University of Exeter, is exploring whether machine agents could support or perform aspects of this task.
This talk will introduce the research behind Project Bluebird, showcasing the machine agents developed so far and examining the technical and operational challenges of deploying them in such a high-stakes environment.
Professor Richard Everson is Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Exeter. His work covers machine learning, data science, optimisation, and uncertainty quantification. He is the academic Principal Investigator for Project Bluebird, leading the programme’s collaboration with NATS and The Alan Turing Institute.
