Joshua A. Ashly passed his master thesis defense on September 21, 2022. Congratulations!
Josh's master thesis focuses on designing a sensor data aggregation system and centralized sensor-driven trajectory planning algorithm for fixed-wing aircraft to optimally assist atmospheric simulators in mapping the local environment in real-time. The proposed application of this work is to be used in the event of a hazardous contaminant leak into the atmosphere as a fleet of sensing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could provide valuable information for evacuation measures.
After receiving the master degree, Josh will join Blue Origin, Seattle, Washington, as an Embedded System Engineer: Aerospace Applications.
Our lab has been awarded an NSF grant "Autonomous Fault-Tolerant Operation of Redundant Robotic Arms" in collaboration with Prof. Jiangbiao He from UK ECE.
