The "Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Unmanned Systems Foundations and Applications" 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 to support broader educational goals and diversity in the STEM workforce.Each REU participant's research project focuses on unmanned systems with topics including close interactions of aerial robots with the environment; proficiency development in operating robotic systems; vision-based control for collaborative robotic systems; multi-agent design, control, and applications; and resilient, synergistic communication systems. 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 and maintaining mentorship relationships after the summer.This site is jointly funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF Directorate of Computer and Information Science and Engineering REU program.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.

内布拉斯加州大学的本科生（REU）地点的“无人系统基础和应用的本科研究机会”在无人系统的迅速发展的科学和技术研究领域，每年为十个本科生提供了丰富而全面的研究经验。内布拉斯加州智能移动无人系统实验室（Nimbus Lab）的一组教师专家团队提供了十个星期的个人指导，以灌输研究方法的基础，并就各种无人系统应用进行动手研究。参与者从事专业发展活动，以更好地为科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）职业做好准备。考虑到计算机科学，计算机工程，机械工程，电气工程和其他相关专业的学生。特别关注来自代表性不足的团体的学生以及中西部机构的学生缺乏研究机会来支持STEM劳动力中更广泛的教育目标和多样性的研究机会。EAFEREU参与者的研究项目着重于无人系统的系统，其中包括与环境之间的空中机器人紧密相互作用的主题；操作机器人系统的能力发展；基于视觉的协作机器人系统控制；多代理设计，控制和应用；和弹性，协同的通信系统。项目以正在进行的教师研究为基础，但要为参与者而设计，以在研究的各个方面获得经验，从进行文献综述和原型制作到了解所研究技术的广泛潜在影响。参与者的发展将通过通过REU经验来密切评估其增长并在夏季结束后维持指导关系来量化。本网站由国防部与NSF计算机和信息科学和工程REU计划合作合作，共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估了基金会的智力效果，并以评估委员会的范围进行了评估。
