This grant will support experiment which will address a critical issue in undergraduate engineering education. The test project will be based on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and will involve hardware and software design and development of ancillary systems necessary to carry out scientific and engineering surveys to obtain needed environmental data. The AUV's layered control approach, developed by Rodney Brooks at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, breaks the robot control problem into a set of interacting behaviors. This enables small student teams to work on a single behavior but also forces them to work collaboratively in order to integrate interaction among behaviors. This project will add a new dimension to Research Experiences for Undergraduates by providing experience in design, engineering, construction, and field testing.

该赠款将支持实验，该实验将解决本科工程教育中的关键问题。 该测试项目将基于自动驾驶水下汽车（AUV），并将涉及执行科学和工程调查所需的硬件和软件设计以及辅助系统以获取所需的环境数据。 由罗德尼·布鲁克斯（Rodney Brooks）在麻省理工学院（MIT）的人工智能实验室开发的AUV分层控制方法将机器人控制问题弄坏了一组相互作用的行为。 这使小型学生团队能够从事一种行为，但也迫使他们进行协作，以整合行为之间的互动。 该项目将通过提供设计，工程，建筑和现场测试的经验来为本科生的研究经验增加一个新的维度。
