I don't know if I should put this topic to lounge to get more attention.

I've been in this field for 10 yrs. We can discuss its future.

I designed and built one back in 2007 for my senior design project (as did many AE graduates). If you are interested in UAV research I'd encourage you to go talk to Dr. Hall in the MAE department.

I'm not in that direction. I'm focusing on swarm intelligence of UAV behaviors, like routing, motion planning...

more specific, what are you working on? what is your title?

are you working on any material that will be published anytime soon? if so, what is the subject material?

what is the abstract?

I haven't done research for a long time.
Why are you so curious? What are you doing? Still in school? You are 25 so I suppose you are.

There's several people doing autonomous UAS stuff in the MAE department. Not much swarming, but some multi-vehicle control stuff and simplified user interfaces.

What do you work on?

I'm belonging to EE, not MAE. I used to design ant colony algorithm for multiple UAVs.

UAV designing and control is multi-discipline. EE and ME all have professors work on it.

I'm speaking of multiple vehicles organized into a "system", and interacting with the entire system rather than interacting with individual vehicles.

ie, Skynet.

I'm doing that too. What algorithm do you use? And what strategy are you developing? Routing? Control?

More generally, I'm also getting involved in robotics. So intelligent system can cover this two topics.

I am in love with this topic. I took this online course on programming a robotic car http://www.udacity.com/course/cs373 so I've done some PID controller and SLAM implementations. I'd love to work in this field full-time but I have been out of academia for too long and I'm not sure I could make as much money in robotics (yet) as I do in general software development. So I'm mostly a hobbyist/outside observer at this point

Yes, this field is not as rich as software engineering field. And many topics are sensitive. I was got checked each time when I travel to US. So many classmates of mine turn to software or finance field. Also, the companies related are not many, only ABB, Eaton, Boeing, GE are big names.
This is a small field.

Do you publish papers? There are a lot of conferences in this area, like ACC, IROS, IRA-DSN, IFAC...

Look up Daniel Hellinger. He's the guy at Penn who did the quadrotor drone swarm videos that went viral on youtube.

as it happens, he got his undergrad degree at NC State.

You have significant issues with this ME vs EE. What about Dan's quadrotor swarms do you not think is worth your time?

You have a very narrow view of fields.

Question: How do the GRASP lab vehicles stay in formation w.r.t. each other, and how do they accomplish cooperative tasks?

They should have communicating devices on each of them.
I'm not a narrow viewer. Actually I dip into each of the smaller fields before, ME, EE, CS.. But I need to focus on one specific field, because one's ability is limited. There are so many conferences in UAV and so many ppl are doing this.

Question: What have you done re: task assignment/collision avoidance in your swarms. That's not a ME subject.

I designed an ant colony algorithm for UAV routing in battle field. It also can be used in network routing.

I don't now if anyone has posted this, but they just added a UAV specialist to ITRE:

I once worked with NASA on a project about UAV, or GTM model. I believe every school has some ppl working on this.
For NCSU, ECE professors: Chow Moyun ME professors: Wu Fen, etc

You should try another degree, shoot. These guys produce the "worlds [sic] best unmanned systems engineers." That can't hurt.
