Drone sightings are becoming more common, but many people are still apprehensive being around them. Nebraska computer scientist Brittany Duncan aims to ease discomfort by enabling drones to communicate their intentions, such as taking photos, and maintain comfortable distances. Communication also could make drones valuable coworkers. Duncan, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, earned […]
Drilling a hole in the ground can be complicated. Especially when the driller is a stealth drone working undetected in unknown, far-off terrain. And when it’s for the U.S. Department of Defense, it has to work every time. The Nebraska Intelligent MoBile Unmanned Systems, or NIMBUS, Lab is developing a drone system capable of delivering […]
Behlen Laboratory – once considered for demolition – has been transformed into a modern facility that amps up the university’s national defense research. The former physics building’s flexible new design accommodates a variety of research disciplines. It was specially constructed to meet the high-level security needs of defense-related research, a key growth area for Nebraska […]
