Last week Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Faculty of Transport Engineering hosted the mid‑term review of the MOCO Horizon Europe project. Partners convened to assess progress, address technical challenges, and agree on next steps toward advancing autonomous mobility solutions.
Presentations across the project’s work packages highlighted key exploitable results: an End‑to‑End autonomy approach, the Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) method, and Sliding Mode Control with Barrier Function Adaptation (SMC + BFA). Discussions focused on integrating these methods into vehicle architectures, refining control and planning algorithms, and progressing toward system validation.
The consortium reviewed training and career development achievements for seconded staff and planned activities to accelerate technology transfer and real‑world deployment. The meeting reinforced collaboration among partners and set a clear roadmap for translating research outcomes into impactful, industry‑ready autonomous systems.
Currently, the MOCO project is recognised by the European Commission as a success story. Head of Transport and Logistics Competence Centre assoc. prof. dr. Viktor Skrickij is the project coordinator.
