Project overview

The UKRI TAS Hub assembles a team from the Universities of Southampton, Nottingham and King’s College London. The Hub sits at the centre of the £33M Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Programme, funded by the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund.

The role of the TAS Hub is to coordinate and work with six research nodes to establish a collaborative platform for the UK to enable the development of socially beneficial autonomous systems that are both trustworthy in principle and trusted in practice by individuals, society and government.

Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Centre for Perception and Cognition (CPC)

We investigate cognitive psychology and human perception processes through vision, touch and sound. Our research explores high-level functions, including learning, memory, metacognition and reading.

Agents, Interaction and Complexity

We research the science and engineering of complex areas. We focus on areas including human-machine teams and human-in-the-loop interaction.

Computational Engineering and Design Group

Our research group is a centre for multidisciplinary engineering simulation and design, combining a range of analytical, computational and experimental techniques.

Infrastructure Group

The Infrastructure Research Group has expertise across structural and geotechnical engineering. We address research challenges found onshore and offshore, supporting sustainability and resilience.

Transportation Group

Our research focuses on the interactions between behaviour, infrastructure and operations and how they translate into transport policy and practice.

Web and Internet Science

We engage with the wider community to address some of the greatest economic and societal challenges facing the World Wide Web today.
