UNMANNED VEHICLE

SYSTEMS (UVS) LABORATORY

A new platform for innovation
Quickly conduct a variety of experiments
without the time and cost of UVS development.
Design and implement controllers and algorithms
on a fully integrated, multi-agent system.
Research autonomous, unmanned aerial and
ground vehicles (UAVs/UGVs) using powerful,
real-time control software. Applications include:
Vehicle dynamics modeling and control
Motion planning
Obstacle avoidance
Sensor fusion
Fleet maintenance
Multi-agent navigation and formation control
Autonomous operation or supervisory control
