The University of Colorado received a two-year, $1,045,429 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems to conduct collaborative research on dispersed autonomy for marsupial aerial robot teams. The grant was awarded January 1, 2022 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), with work expected to be completed by December 31, 2024 at the university's Boulder, Colorado location. The project aims to advance the development and use of marsupial aerial robot teams, where smaller aerial robots can dock with and detach from larger "mother" robots to extend operational range. This collaborative research supports the program's goals of investigating new computing and communications technologies to enable and accelerate discovery and innovation in areas like robotics. Results from the university's work are expected to enhance capabilities for dispersed autonomy among aerial robot systems.
