- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will fund the development of a new framework called AERIAL (AI-Embedded Responsive Intelligent Agents with Trajectory-Induced Digital Twin Learning). The $599,961 award to the University of Massachusetts will enable drones and robots to collaborate intelligently by combining advanced mathematics with artificial intelligence. The project aims to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $305,000 to Prime Pacific Enterprises LLC (doing business as Hawaii Pacific Drone Solutions) to develop an autonomous unmanned aerial system (UAS) to monitor coastal erosion. The goal is to create a control system that can guide the UAS through dynamic coastal environments to collect high-precision data, enabling communities to make informed...
- This $399,871 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an advanced extended reality (XR) training system for drone operators that combines Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 regulations and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operation. The project, led by the University of Texas at Arlington, plans to integrate FAA Part 107 regulatory content into a generative AI-assisted XR-based UAS training system. The goal is...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $255,882 Project Grant to Aifly Ventures of Saratoga, CA under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) federal grant program. The 12-month award beginning January 1, 2022 will support research titled "SBIR PHASE I: DRONE CONTROL IN TURBULENCE VIA REINFORCEMENT LEARNING." Specifically, Aifly Ventures will develop and test reinforcement learning techniques to enable stable drone control in turbulent environments. The Engineering program seeks to foster...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $500,000 awarded on September 1, 2022 will fund research at the University of Louisville to develop autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles for remote sensing applications in the Arctic through August 31, 2025. The research seeks to advance capabilities under the NSF's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) by designing flight control methods enabling UAV operation in challenging Arctic wind conditions and autonomous data...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,999 Partnerships for Innovation - Technology Translation (PFI-TT) project grant under its Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to the University of Cincinnati Sponsored Research Services Division. The grant will support the development, testing, and demonstration of a prototype "care delivery telehealth drone" that can safely and reliably deliver healthcare services to people in their homes, operating in both indoor and outdoor environments. Key goals of the project include developing the drone's software and hardware capabilities, designing user interfaces, and validating the prototype. This effort aims to address technological barriers related to drone navigation, human-robot interaction, and telehealth systems to enable quick response to healthcare needs, improve in-home care quality and cost-effectiveness, and reduce revenue loss from missed medical appointments. The project period runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025.
