This award will develop foundations for autonomous airborne robotics, ultimately to be based on the cloud. This work has the potential to develop new frameworks and theories for distributed autonomy in networked vehicular networks/systems. The development of novel solutions for robust decision making in vehicular networks in conjunction with airborne autonomous systems has the potential to greatly improve the safety and quality of life of human users. Three research directions will be investigated over the duration of this project: (i) co-optimization of cyber-physical elements, (ii) autonomy tasks and (iii) cloud platform. The fundamental research will focus on the concrete example of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), whereby including all three research thrusts. This project aims to study airborne cloud-based autonomy in networked road surveillance networks, i.e., to perform complex tasks relating to perception, planning, and learning.

该奖项将为自主空中机器人奠定基础，最终将基于云。这项工作有可能开发新的框架和理论的分布式自治网络车辆网络/系统。结合机载自主系统开发用于车辆网络中的鲁棒决策的新解决方案有可能大大提高人类用户的安全性和生活质量。在本项目期间，将研究三个研究方向：（i）网络物理元素的协同优化，（ii）自主任务和（iii）云平台。基础研究将集中在无人机系统（UAS）的具体例子，其中包括所有三个研究重点。该项目旨在研究网络化道路监控网络中基于云的机载自主性，即，执行与感知、规划和学习有关的复杂任务。
