DASLab Projects and Infrastructure

Sponsored Projects

Our focus is on theoretical insights and practical algorithms for advancing autonomous learning, decision making, and control, with an experimental emphasis on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).

• Dynamic Data Driven Pervasive Situational Awareness  (DDDPSA) 
  • We are developing new adaptive planning techniques for pervasive battle-space situational awareness with ground and aerial sensors. This project is funded by AFOSR's DDDAS program.
• AFOSR YIP: Robust Adaptive Autonomy in Contested Environments (RAACE)
  • We are developing new spatiotemporally scalable learning, planning, and manned-unmanned collaboration algorithms for teams of UAS operating in consented environments. This project is funded by AFOSR Young Investigator Program (YIP).
• Surface and airborne sensors for detecting CO₂ leakage
  • Our role in the CO₂-Enhanced Oil Recovery Pilot in the Anadarko Basin (TX) is develop CO₂ flux monitoring technologies using UAS and ground sensors. This project is funded by US Department of Energy (DOE).
• Multi-Objective Optimization for Flexible Transport Aircraft
  • We created online adaptive multi-objective optimization based active wing-shaping controllers for next generation light-weight and flexible aircraft. This project is funded by NASA, and OK-Space Grant consortium.

We have developed state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure to support cutting edge autonomy research.
