Current Research
The UAVRF perform research to enable highly capable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), aerial robots, and autonomous vehicle systems. Current research topics include:
- Vision aided navigation and control
- Highly capable adaptive control methods with robustness and performance guarantees
- Active environmental perception, obstacle avoidance, and agile low altitude flight
- Integrated guidance, navigation, and control of miniature UAS in cluttered GPS denied environments
- Navigation and estimation theory and sensor fusion
- Decentralized control and management of mobile networks
- Human UAS interaction
The UAVRF places a strong emphasis on control theoretic research. Flight experimentation is often used for validating developed theory, collecting relevant data, and for motivating new areas of research.
