Equipment Proposal for the Autonomous Vehicle Systems Laboratory at UIW

Abstract

This final technical report details the status of the Autonomous Vehicle Systems (AVS) Research and Education Laboratory at the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) located in San Antonio, TX. UIW is a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The AVS Lab was supported by a DoD HBCU/MI equipment grant from February 2014 to January 2015. The equipment purchased from this grant will contribute to the understanding of the control of a formation of multi-agent autonomous systems in uncertain dynamic environments. The educational mission of this laboratory is to introduce new teaching methods into STEM courses at UIW and to provide students opportunities for UAV research. The AVS Lab has been fully operational as of late September 2014. All equipment has been purchased and has been integrated or calibrated into the camera tracking system used for localization within the lab. The AVS Lab had a Demonstration Day on July 31, 2014 for the other regional universities in San Antonio.
