Control Software

Successful cyber-physical system controllers evolve as they are refined, extended, and adapted to new systems and contexts. This evolution occurs in the controller design and also in its software implementation. Model-based design and controller synthesis can help to synchronize this...

Remote Sensor Emplacement

Using unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) as sensor platforms is a well-studied and well-implemented area. UASs have even been used to place sensors on the ground or in water. However, there are some instances where placing a sensor on top of...

Wetlands Monitoring using UAS

Wetlands are critical to the water cycle, yet they are a difficult environment to safely and effectively monitor. Robot systems have the potential to transform our understanding of complex wetlands systems by not only allowing faster and higher density sensing,...

UAS-Rx Fire Ignitions

Fire is critical for reducing catastrophic wildfires and sustaining ecosystems. Yet the technology to support fire ignition and monitoring remains stagnant. Fire personnel operate under enduring risk in a rapidly evolving context, using drip torches to ignite fires. Alternative forms...
