 ✈ The Cooperative Autonomous Observing Systems (CAOS) research collaborative develops technology for Dynamic Data Driven Observing Systems, primarily using sUAS and instrumentation.  The projects include:

• Fluid SLAM: A project to study coherent   atmospheric phenomena -- fronts, volcanoes, clouds for natural hazard and climate research. We show how small Unmanned Aircraft Systems can be efficiently employed to study physical scales up to 100 kilometers and a few hours at very low cost. 
• Wings Over Wildlie: A project aimed at animal tracking and remote identification using novel path planning and controls.
• Stratoro Dynastat: A project aimed as a  new climate and natural hazard observatory in the stratosphere. The Dynastat is steerable, reusable, and presents a new paradigm for sustainable persistent observation of the earth for natural hazards and climate. 

 ✈ Our research encompasses theory, methodology and experiment. It is interdisciplinary in nature, demanding practice in the fields of Aeronautics, Computer Vision, Robotics, Meteorology and Machine Learning. Apply today if you are interested!
