This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will provide $200,000 to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Southern California (USC). The REU site will provide 8 undergraduate students per year with 10-week research internships, pairing them with faculty mentors across various cutting-edge robotics and autonomous systems research areas. These areas include socially assistive robotics, aerial robotics, safety-critical robotics, robot learning, and robot manipulation. The goal is to attract students to the robotics field who may have limited exposure or opportunity at their home institutions. The REU site will focus on developing students' research methodology and independence through these authentic research projects. The award period is from June 15, 2025 to November 30, 2027. No subawards are planned under this grant.
