This funding renews a CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Auburn University focused on smart unmanned aerial vehicles (smart UAVs). Undergraduate students design algorithms and techniques to safely, securely, and efficiently fly a fleet of autonomous UAVs in a limited field. A nationwide recruitment process with particular emphasis on the southeast region of the United States is used to select cohorts of undergraduate students to participate in an eight-week summer research program at the host institution. The project includes mentoring by the experienced computer science faculty members, technical seminars and workshops, student presentations, field trips and other professional development opportunities. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The objective of this REU Site is to involve undergraduate students in quality research experiences in the exciting and promising field of autonomous unmanned flight. The program builds on the research of an experienced team of faculty mentors and uses the UAV research infrastructure established at the university. The goals are to target students from two groups, students from teaching-oriented primarily undergraduate colleges with limited research possibilities and students from underrepresented minorities such as women and students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This will be accomplished using an existing recruitment network of schools with significant student populations in the target groups. The research is particularly focused on UAV collision avoidance, secure communications, stable flight, and energy efficient flight. These topics are timely and appealing to undergraduates and should offer a quality research experience to the students.

这笔资金更新了奥本大学CISE本科生研究经验（REU）站点，专注于智能无人机（智能无人机）。本科生设计算法和技术，以安全、可靠和有效地在有限的领域飞行一组自主无人机。一个全国性的招聘过程，特别强调美国东南部地区，用于选择本科生群体参加在主办机构为期八周的暑期研究项目。该项目包括由经验丰富的计算机科学教师指导，技术研讨会和讲习班，学生演讲，实地考察和其他专业发展机会。该站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作提供支持。这个REU网站的目标是让本科生参与自主无人飞行这一令人兴奋和有前途的领域的高质量研究体验。该项目建立在一个经验丰富的教师导师团队的研究基础上，并使用了该大学建立的无人机研究基础设施。目标是针对两个群体的学生，一个是来自教学为主的本科学院的学生，研究机会有限，另一个是来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生，如女性和来自传统黑人学院和大学的学生。这将利用目标群体中有大量学生的学校现有的招聘网络来完成。该研究特别侧重于无人机防撞、安全通信、稳定飞行和节能飞行。这些主题对本科生来说是及时而有吸引力的，应该为学生提供高质量的研究体验。
