This project concerns autonomous and cyber-physical systems such as unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial (and terrestrial) vehicles, robot systems and the power grid.<\/p>\n

As autonomous systems are networked, the complexity involved in making decisions increases. Many times, the environments in which these systems operate are uncertain; for example, a vehicle’s intelligent systems may have been trained to operate on roads with lane markings, pedestrian cross-walks, etc; but it runs into difficulty when a pedestrian attempts to jaywalk.<\/p>\n

Students involved on this project will work with the professor to develop and implement learning-based decision algorithms on this systems to meet performance specifications.
\nJuniors and seniors or sophomores that have taken advanced courses are welcome to apply.
\nStudents in ECE, CS, Math, MAE who have strong analytical skills and comfortable with programming are welcome to apply.
\nIt is a paid position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1849,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"researchcategory":[5,7,12],"locations":[14],"mentoring":[35,37,36,40],"class_list":["post-9770","research","type-research","status-publish","hentry","researchcategory-cs","researchcategory-eng","researchcategory-ps","locations-om","mentoring-hin","mentoring-mcir","mentoring-rmp","mentoring-surf"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMaking optimal decisions in networked autonomous systems - Undergraduate Research<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/academicsuccess.ucf.edu\/our\/research\/making-optimal-decisions-in-networked-autonomous-systems\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Making optimal decisions in networked autonomous systems - Undergraduate Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This project concerns autonomous and cyber-physical systems such as unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial (and terrestrial) vehicles, robot systems and the power grid.
