  • A SPOT robot navigating autonomously.
    One thousand feet underground, a four-legged creature scavenges through tunnels in pitch darkness. With vision that cuts through the blackness, it explores a spider web of paths, remembering its every step and navigating with precision. The sound of
  • The RAAVEN UAS flying
    A team of °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ scientists and engineers have landed a major grant to design next-generation uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to fly into the heart of supercell thunderstorms that can spawn tornadoes...
  • Rendering of cars
    Researchers at °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ are leading four new NSF-funded projects that are exploring the safety and security of autonomous systems, including those used in self-driving vehicles. The work is part of an international effort to address the
  • A quadcopter drone flies into an entrance of Edgar mine.
    Roughly oneÌýstory belowground, in an undisclosed location in BoulderÌýCounty, close to a dozen engineers hustle up and down a series of utility tunnels—a network of corridors filled with pipes and lit only by sporadic lightbulbs. The
  • Representative illustration of artifical intelligence.
    °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ researchers are developing artificial intelligence systems so computers can recognize and explain their own limitations to users.

    It takes on an important issue people face with each other every day.

    “We all have different competencies and we know our own limitations. If I'm asked to...
  • A student holding a UAV.
    Researchers from °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ flew drones into severe storms this springÌýfor project TORUS, one of the largest and most ambitious drone-basedÌýinvestigations of meteorological phenomena ever, with students leadingÌýmuch of the work.
  • Flood damage.
    Tornadoes, floods, fires and more affect 160 million people per year worldwide. On this episode of the °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ Brainwaves podcast, what science is doing to help people and their property survive. Interviews include Lori Peek, director of the
  • A UAV in the air.
    Researchers from °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ flew drones into severe storms this spring in one of the largest and most ambitious drone-based investigations of meteorological phenomena ever.
  • A UAV flying
    Project TORUS – or Targeted Observation by Radars and UAS of Supercells – is a partnership between °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (which is leading the work), Texas Tech University, the University of Oklahoma and the National Severe
  • Student in the pool with the RoboSub system
    °ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û2023¿ª½±¼Ç¼ researchers are taking a deep dive into the realm of autonomous submarines through a Small Business Technology Transfer contract sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The work, which entered phase two last month, pairs the University
