|style="color:#000"|'''Paparazzi''' is a free and open-source hardware and software project encompassing an exceptionally powerful and versatile autopilot system for fixedwing aircrafts as well as multicopters. Being open enables '''you''' to add more features and improve the system. Using and improving Paparazzi is wholeheartedly encouraged by the community. Because of lots of enthusiasts like you , Paparazzi is swiftly evolving into an even more powerful system.


The project includes not only the sourcecode with great code like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filtering Kalman filtering] code but even all airborne hardware information needed, from Autopilot boards to zesty designed IMU's. A powerful ever-expanding array of ground hardware and software including modems, antennas, and a highly evolved user-friendly ground control station is included as icing on the cake.

Welcome to Cooperative Unmanned Systems Laboratory (CUSL)

About CUSL

The Cooperative Unmanned Systems Laboratory (CUSL) is a multi-disciplinary research group at the University of Kansas (KU) that focuses on the design, development, and testing of teams of unmanned systems for cooperative sensing and cooperative control missions. Here is a quick introduction: [https:// (LINK)].

The research objectives of CUSL include

  • Autonomous system development.
  • Gust/wake sensing and wind soaring using UAVs.
  • Design of cooperative sensing and estimation algorithms.
  • Design of cooperative controllers.
  • Networked cyber-physical systems.

News

  • We had our first UAS fire integration workshop held online on Nov. 17, 2021. This workshop is sponsored by USDA-NIFA and NSF. Detailed presentation slides can be found at [https://cusl.ku.edu/UASFireWorkshop2021 (LINK)].

  • Congratulations to Dr. Harold Flanagan for successfully defending his Ph.D. Dissertation, Sep. 2021.

  • Congratulations to Saket Gowravaram for his first journal paper on Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing (PE&RS), "Spectral Reflectance Estimation of UAS Multispectral Imagery Using Satellite Cross-Calibration Method", Oct. 2021.
