Auburn University
Auburn University’s NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) on Smart UAVs introduces students to learning about unmanned aerial vehicles that are used to too “dull, dirty, or dangerous” for manned aircraft. Besides military applications there is a growing number of civil applications such as search and rescue, firefighting, or pipeline surveillance/inspection. Ideal candidates would have experience in C, C++ or Java, a networking class would be a plus.

Oregon State
For the past five years the Robotics program at Oregon State University has offered summer research opportunities. Students have pursued projects in a variety of areas of robotics that deal with the real world; from remote marine sensing, to building and controlling legged robots, to picking up and manipulating objects, to managing swarms of robots, and to how we can incorporate robots into our daily lives. The goal of this program is to have students excited about continuing to do research in robotics, and to give them the tools to successfully transition to graduate-level research, and to continue research at their home institutions. In particular, OSU provides a novel opportunity for students to design follow-on robotics research at their home institution, and to return to Oregon State during the academic year in order to use the robotics facilities here to conduct that research.
All Levels: Freshman Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors.
Students from traditionally under-represented groups, and from colleges and universities that have limited research facilities, including tribal colleges and universities and community colleges, are particularly encouraged to apply. Students majoring in computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, physics, social science, or any closely related fields.
Minimum GPA: 3.0

Washington State University
Undergraduate Research in Smart Environments
The theme of this REU program is the design and use of smart environments. A smart environment is able to acquire and apply knowledge about an inhabitant and their physical surroundings in order to improve their experience in the environment. The desire to create smart environments has existed for decades, and recent advances in such areas as machine learning, sensoring, mobile and pervasive computing, and communications now allow this dream to become reality.
