REU Site Cognitive Autonomous Test

项目摘要

This funding provides for a first renewal of a CISE Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Arizona. A team of faculty and graduate students will lead undergraduate students in immersive research experiences in the compelling, challenging and timely area of autonomous systems focusing on autonomous cars. Working together in small groups, the students will learn how to design and implement algorithms, test them in a robotics car, analyze data revived from experiments, and present the results. Students will have access to a safe, full-size robotics car testbed for their experiments. The site will target the recruitment of women and groups traditionally under-represented in the computing fields. Participating students will gain first-hand experience in research and get an insight into graduate students' life that will help them make informed decisions in pursuing postgraduate studies as well as in choosing professional careers, hopefully in computer science and engineering.The project is led by an outstanding team offering state-of-the art facilities and professional mentors to guide undergraduates in explorations of real-world problems. Students will undertake projects in the areas of model-based design, cognitive radio, control algorithms, sensory data processing, vehicle-to-vehicle-infrastructure communication, and multi-vehicle algorithm scalability. Due to the nature of the testbed, participants will be required to use a spiral development process, where new requirements are added only after previous requirements are verified. The spiral development process will permit projects to have a large number of potential requirements and allow the students to explore the requirements in which they are most interested. The participating students will gain experience in academic authorship and presentations and develop videos for broad dissemination of their projects. The students will participate in an immersive opportunity to design components of a pervasive system that might prepare them to explore other societal-scale problems in the future.

这笔资金用于第一次更新亚利桑那大学本科生CEISE研究经验(REU)网站。一个由教职员工和研究生组成的团队将带领本科生在专注于自动驾驶汽车的引人注目、具有挑战性和及时性的自动系统领域进行身临其境的研究体验。在小组合作中，学生们将学习如何设计和实现算法，在机器人汽车上测试它们，分析从实验中恢复的数据，并展示结果。学生们将可以使用安全的全尺寸机器人汽车试验台进行他们的实验。该网站将面向传统上在计算机领域任职人数不足的妇女和团体的招聘。参与的学生将获得第一手的研究经验，并深入了解研究生的生活，这将帮助他们在攻读研究生以及选择职业生涯方面做出明智的决定，希望是在计算机科学和工程领域。该项目由一个优秀的团队领导，提供最先进的设施和专业导师，指导本科生探索现实世界的问题。学生将在基于模型的设计、认知无线电、控制算法、感官数据处理、车辆到车辆基础设施通信和多车辆算法可伸缩性等领域开展项目。由于试验台的性质，参与者将被要求使用螺旋式开发过程，只有在验证了先前的需求之后才会添加新的需求。螺旋式的发展过程将允许项目具有大量的潜在需求，并允许学生探索他们最感兴趣的需求。参与的学生将获得学术著述和演讲方面的经验，并制作视频广泛传播他们的项目。学生们将参与一个身临其境的机会，设计普及系统的组件，这可能会让他们为未来探索其他社会规模的问题做好准备。
