Detweiler is a Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering who co-directs the Nebraska Intelligent MoBile Unmanned Systems (NIMBUS) Lab.
“Beyond being simple toys, drones are increasingly used for everything from surveying crops for stressed plants to inspecting roofs for hail damage,” Detweiler said.
“We are developing the next generation of drones that are collecting water samples, digging holes in the ground to install sensors, and starting fires from the air to support prescribed fires. By leveraging advances in everything from the electro-mechanical design to novel software that can automatically detect faults to reduce risk and increase safety, we can shape the ‘rise of the machines’ to benefit society.”
