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 groups 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.
Cooperative sensing and estimation algorithm design.
