Ph.D. student Austin Coursey recently presented his work “An Experimental Framework for Evaluating the Safety and Robustness of UAV Controllers” at the 2024 AIAA Aviation Forum. This work outlines a simple framework that facilitates evaluating and comparing the safety of UAV controllers. This work was inspired by results from the lab’s NASA System-Wide Safety project. Austin co-chaired and presented his work in the System-Wide Safety session at Aviation.
