This $174,660 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the Rochester Institute of Technology to develop full automation capabilities for bird-sized unmanned aerial vehicles operating in unknown, cluttered indoor environments using only an RGB-D camera for visual perception. Funded under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education across computing and information sciences, this...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), aims to decipher how neural circuits in fruit flies extract and preprocess visual features for navigation. The $350,000 award, spanning from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, will investigate the anterior visual pathway that encodes the fly's sense of direction, with the goal of developing anatomically and experimentally supported...
This $335,050 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Montclair State University to develop a more comprehensive cognitive model of wayfinding development in children. The grant, awarded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will investigate how wayfinding skills unfold across development among children ages 6 to 10 with diverse social and demographic backgrounds. Specifically, the researchers will recruit children to complete...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the University of Maryland, College Park to develop methods for optimizing sensory-motor interaction strategies to minimize pilot training duration. The project aims to create a pilot training platform that uses multiple synthetic actors, including virtual/augmented reality, motion platforms, audio, haptics, and control inceptors, to provide neuroadaptive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,140,828 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2028, will support research to generate novel computational tools and methods for elucidating the functional dynamics of 3D vision circuits in the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain.
