The "Unmanned Systems Foundation and Application" Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Nebraska offers an intensive and comprehensive research experience to ten undergraduate students per year in the context of unmanned systems, a rapidly growing field of scientific and technological research. A team of faculty experts from the Nebraska Intelligent MoBile Unmanned Systems Lab (NIMBUS Lab) provides individual mentoring for ten weeks to instill the foundations of research methodology and to conduct hands-on research activities on a variety of unmanned systems applications. The participants engage in professional development activities to better prepare them for Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) careers. Students from computer science, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and other related majors are considered. Particular attention is given to students from underrepresented groups and from institutions in the Midwest that lack research opportunities, in order to support broader educational goals and diversity in the STEM workforce.Each REU participant's research project focuses on unmanned systems with topics including: attitude control of nanosatellites, behavior studies of robots in complex environments around humans, characterizing and developing vehicles for atmospheric profiling, and asset management during wildfires with unmanned aerial vehicles. Projects build on ongoing faculty research, but are crafted for participants to gain experience in all aspects of research, from conducting a literature review and prototyping, to understanding the broad potential impact of the technology being investigated. Participant development will be quantified by closely assessing their growth through the REU experience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

内布拉斯加大学的“无人系统基础和应用”本科生研究体验(REU)网站每年向10名本科生提供关于无人系统的密集和全面的研究体验，无人系统是一个快速增长的科学和技术研究领域。来自内布拉斯加州智能移动无人系统实验室(Nimbus Lab)的教师专家团队提供为期十周的个人指导，以灌输研究方法的基础，并就各种无人系统应用进行实践研究活动。学员参与专业发展活动，以便更好地为科学、技术、工程或数学(STEM)职业生涯做准备。来自计算机科学、计算机工程、机械工程、电气工程等相关专业的学生将被考虑。特别关注来自代表性不足群体和中西部缺乏研究机会的机构的学生，以支持更广泛的教育目标和STEM工作队伍的多样性。每个REU参与者的研究项目都集中在无人系统上，主题包括：纳米卫星的姿态控制，机器人在人类周围复杂环境中的行为研究，大气剖面的特征和开发车辆，以及无人驾驶飞行器在野火中的资产管理。项目建立在正在进行的教师研究的基础上，但为参与者精心设计，以获得研究的所有方面的经验，从进行文献审查和原型制作，到了解正在调查的技术的广泛潜在影响。参与者的发展将通过密切评估他们在REU经验中的成长来量化。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
