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. 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 Dr. Haiyang Chao visited Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Munition Directorate under the support from AFRL Summer Faculty Fellowship Program, May - July 2016. Dr. Haiyang Chao was selected as a member for AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technical Committee in March, 2016. He will serve as the area co-chair for the MAV Guidance, Navigation, and Control in the 2017 AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference. Congratulations to Pengzhi Tian for his first conference paper as the lead author, “UAV Flight Test Evaluation of Fusion Algorithms for Estimation of Angle of Attack and Sideslip Angle”, to be presented at the 2016 AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference, Aug. 2015. Conference paper “Wake Vortex Detection with UAV Close Formation Flight” presented at the AIAA Atmospheric Flight Mechanics (AFM), June, 2015 Dr. Haiyang Chao visited NASA Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) for one week sponsored by Kansas-NASA-EPSCoR Grant, Aug. 2015. Conference paper "Wind Field and Wake Estimation in UAV Formation Flight" presented at American Control Conference 2014, in Portland, Oregon, July 2014.
