Designing for Autonomy
Overview:
Noblis is pushing autonomous designs forwards in many directions across multiple
domains. As PEP26
students prepare your boats for the upcoming two-mile autonomy race, take your designs to the next
level by joining this webinar, led by experts, Mr. James O'Hara and Dr. Mohammad Goli. This session will
explore how real-world leaders in autonomy testing, validation, and swarm coordination see unmanned
systems and how they would design these systems to maximize their usefulness. You’ll learn how to design
components for future success, coordinate systems, test/improve craft, and safely operate your craft. These
skills that directly translate to your race
strategy and future engineering careers. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with innovators at the
forefront of
autonomy research and gain insights that could set your team apart on race day and beyond.

Noblis & Autonomy
Noblis is advancing the future of autonomous systems through research that
enables unmanned vehicles and machines to
move beyond isolated functions toward coordinated, scalable, and self-organizing operations. Noblis develops technologies that enhance collaboration, safety, and trust
among autonomous
platforms.
A key focus is testing, evaluation, verification, and
validation—supported by Noblis’ patented approach to
systematically managing earned trust. This process relies on repeatable, real-world encounters where
machines coordinate
their actions, secured by a **decentralized distributed ledger** that strengthens cybersecurity and
operational
reliability.
In the realm of collaborative multi-agent systems and swarm autonomy,
Noblis’ research enables groups of autonomous
systems to communicate, cooperate, and adapt in dynamic environments. These advancements allow for
efficient, resilient
performance in complex missions such as surveillance, exploration, and defense. As autonomous
technologies become more
integrated into human environments, Noblis continues to design frameworks that promote safe,
predictable, and
trustworthy interactions between humans and machines.
