Omnidrome Research and Innovation Centre

Welcome to the Omnidrome Research and Innovation Centre at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Omnidrome is a hub for world-leading research, innovation, education and knowledge exchange for air, land, and water-based drones, robotics and autonomous vehicles.

Omnidrome applies Royal Holloway’s research expertise in air, land and water-based drones, and acts as a springboard for engagement with industry partners, local government, non-governmental organisations, and commercial partners.

We aim to bring together a multidisciplinary community of researchers, educators, and technical experts with interests in R&D and application of drone technology in the areas of:

  • Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and information security of autonomous vehicles
  • Drone and sensor technology
  • Scientific monitoring of environmental, ecological, geographical, geological systems and human environments
  • Culture, Arts and Humanities
