ASME and AUVSI to Work Together
ASME and the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) announced a new collaboration that seeks to further what we know about autonomous vehicles and systems. ASME recently signed an agreement of participation with the association in support of the new Journal of Autonomous Vehicles and Systems (JAVS).

JAVS provides a platform for the communication of knowledge and solutions in the area of research and design of autonomous vehicles and systems.
Vladimir Vantsevich, Worcester Polytechnic Institute professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and director, Vehicle and Robotics Engineering Laboratory is editor-in-chief of the ASME journal. JAVS provides an international platform for the communication and discussion of technical knowledge and solutions in the transformative areas of the research and engineering design of autonomous vehicles and systems that operate in all media and inter-medium environments: ground, air, space, and water.

Vantsevich explained that JAVS focuses on both research and development areas—meaning real world vehicle applications. “In this regard, our goal is to reach the largest possible audience that is involved with research and applications of autonomous vehicles, and AUVSI is a premier industry organization in this space,” he said. “We welcome the participation and contributions of subject matter experts from AUVSI, in addition to our own community of experts within ASME.”

Moreover, ASME and AUVSI plan to engage both communities beyond the traditional journal publishing operations.Many collaborative activities are planned to engage the autonomous vehicle communities, including webinars and conference events,” Vantsevich said. “However, the ultimate goal is to publish the highest quality research in this field from both industry and academic institutions.”

Philip Trambley, Business Operations Manager at AUVSI, said that the association is pleased to collaborate with a leading engineering society in the rapidly changing and exciting field of autonomous vehicles. “We look forward to developing and growing our relationship for the benefit of both organizations and their members,” he said.

Vantsevich encouraged ASME members to contact him and “get involved in the collaboration with AUVSI and the JAVS.”
