Maritime RobotX Challenge
PI Eric Coyle
CO-I Patrick Currier
CO-I Charles Reinholtz
CO-I Brian Butka
The Maritime RobotX Challenge entails the development and demonstration of an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV). Embry-Riddle is one of three U.S. schools selected to compete in the challenge, which is co-sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Foundation.

Wake Vortex Safety Analysis in the Context of UAS Integration in the NAS
PI Vladimir Golubev
This project is a collaboration with several research organizations under the supervision of FAA. The focus of the current research efforts is on developing and employing variable-fidelity prediction approaches to examine safety implications of the future integration of variable-size UAS systems in the National Aerospace System (UAS).

Pilot-in-the-Loop UAS Mobile Research Test-Bed
PI Hever Moncayo
CO-I May Chan
CO-I Ashwini Agrawal
CO-I Agustin Giovagnoli
This project aims to develop and implement a Mobile UAV Ground Control Station (GCS) supporting aviation safety research with pilot-in-the-loop capabilities using unmanned aerial systems platforms, in which flight conditions, such as systems failures, could be simulated in real-time to characterize pilot response, control laws performance, and human-machine and control laws interactions.

Distributed Detection and Control of Collective Behaviors in Multi-agent Systems
PI Tianyu Yang
Multi-agent systems can be defined as a group of dynamical systems, in which certain emergent behaviors are exhibited through the local interaction among group members that individually have the capability of self-operating. The key issues we study include the analysis of network controllability and the design of coordination control protocol in order to achieve autonomous and optimal tasking allocation. Also, the detection and resilient control of emergent behaviors in large scale multi-agent systems are of keen interest.

UAS Ground Collision Severity Evaluation
PI Feng Zhu
CO-I Eduardo Divo
CO-I Victor Huayamave
Increased use of UAS requires an in-depth understanding of the hazard severity and likelihood of UAS operations in the NAS. Due to their distinct characteristics (e.g. size, weight and shape) with manned aircraft systems, UAS operations may pose unique hazards to other aircraft and people on the ground.
