Student Theses

Not every student working on an ADSC project had to write a Master’s thesis. Some of the students also worked at the Autonomous Systems Engineering and Integration Laboratory on other UAV-related projects at the same time. Therefore, listed below are only several M.S. theses that were devoted to ADSC projects entirely

  • Wind Estimation for Aerial Payload Delivery Systems Using GPS and IMU, by Mr. Matthew D. O’Brian, graduated in September of 2016.
  • Conceptual and Preliminary Designs of a Low-Cost Precision Aerial Delivery System, by Mr. Andrew B. Hall, graduated in June of 2016.
  • Payload Derived Position Acquisition System for Parachute Recovery Systems, by Mr. Ryan D. Tiaden, graduated in December of 2007.
  • Autonomous Video Scoring of Air Delivery Payloads, by Mr. Robert M. Berlind, graduated in March of 2006.
