The Consortium

The ORIGAMI project brings together a carefully selected group of leading European organisations—spanning academia, industry, SMEs, and military research institutes—working jointly to advance next‑generation autonomous drone swarm technologies. Representing Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Finland, and Norway, the consortium combines complementary expertise to ensure innovative, reliable, and operationally relevant results.

	The Royal Military Academy (RMA) coordinates the ORIGAMI consortium. As a military university with long‑standing expertise in robotics, autonomous systems, and counter‑drone research, RMA acts as the bridge between technological innovation and real operational needs. RMA oversees project coordination and ensures that developments remain aligned with end‑user requirements and future defence capabilities.
	Delft Dynamics is an innovative SME specialised in developing advanced drone systems for complex environments. With nearly two decades of experience building robust, mission‑ready platforms, the company contributes to the design and continuous improvement of the drone platforms used in ORIGAMI.
	NTNU brings world‑leading expertise in resilient autonomy, navigation, and multi‑agent robotics. Their team, known for major achievements in international robotics challenges, contributes research on advanced navigation and robust drone behaviours in demanding environments.
	VoxelSensors introduces cutting‑edge, ultra‑fast, low‑power 3D sensing technology. Their unique sensing approach enables high‑performance perception for autonomous drones operating in cluttered or GPS‑denied environments. In ORIGAMI, they develop next‑generation sensing modules tailored for the project’s needs.
	AICIA’s GRVC Robotics Lab is an internationally recognised leader in aerial robotics and drone swarm systems. Their team contributes to the development of ORIGAMI’s fault‑tolerant swarm intelligence and supports navigation and system integration based on extensive research and competition experience.
	Bittium provides secure and reliable tactical communication technologies. Within ORIGAMI, they enhance the project’s communication architecture to ensure robust connectivity between swarm elements under challenging operational conditions.
	VUB contributes expertise through two complementary research groups: ETRO, specialising in multi‑modal sensing and AI‑driven signal processing, and R&MM, focusing on robotics, safe control, and multi‑agent coordination. Their combined capabilities strengthen ORIGAMI’s perception and autonomous decision‑making technologies.
