Highlights
❖ This presentation talks about the research being done at Cal Poly Pomona on increased autonomy of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Despite their potential use for many commercial missions, their use is still limited. They have not yet seen mass deployment for many applications such as agriculture. This can be attributed to both regulatory and technological challenges.
❖ The research projects at Cal Poly Pomona are designed for technological maturation as well as for reducing the cost and complexity of these vehicles and their operation so that the UAVs can be used for widespread applications including by the end users. These projects involve large number of faculty and students from several departments in the Colleges of Engineering, Science, and Agriculture.
❖ Research projects on intelligent flight controls, sense and avoid, search and rescue, agriculture, command and control of multiple UAV’s, multivehicle coordination, and 3-D mapping will be presented. Efforts on training future generation of engineers and scientists will also be presented.
