The Texas Legislative Budget Board (LBB) visited UTARI as part of a tour of UTA and UTD. UTARI’s focus was on automation and unmanned systems. The Automation and Intelligent Systems Division gave demonstrations of unmanned aerial systems, unmanned ground vehicles, as well as AR/VR. UTARI’s research in these areas serves the department of defense, first responders, federal and state agencies, as well as industry and the public sector.
The LBB is a permanent joint committee of the Texas Legislature that develops budget and policy recommendations for legislative appropriations, completes fiscal analyses for proposed legislation, and conducts evaluations and reviews to improve the efficiency and performance of state and local operations.
