This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $200,000 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to conduct planning activities that aim to formulate new and sound plans for large-scale projects in the emerging research area of multi-human, multi-aerial vehicle interactions. The grant funding will support the development of the initial conceptualization, planning, and collaboration activities required to address the intertwined challenges of enabling safe, reliable, and resilient communication and interactions between users and uncrewed aerial systems (drones) in diverse work environments, such as construction and search-and-rescue operations. The goal is to distill the foundational requirements and constructs for these multi-user, multi-drone interactions, with a focus on radically improving communications, developing methodologies for close interactions in independent multi-human-robot teams, and creating tools to support interactions with diverse users. This planning project brings together a team of researchers to lay the groundwork for transforming the design of human-drone interactions and enabling safer ubiquity of these systems on job sites.
