Dr. Arneson gave an overview of the Air Traffic Management Exploration (ATM-X) Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sub-project and shared some preliminary research results from the Airspace Services focus area, which she co-leads. Over 100 attendees, including faculty and students, were online for her presentation. In addition to the seminar, her virtual visit included conversations with eleven faculty or staff members throughout the day and a discussion with graduate students following the seminar. Faculty at the university are working on a broad range of problems that are highly relevant to the UAM work being done at NASA. Discussions focused on topics in the public domain, such as the operation of new vehicles designed for UAM in close proximity, methods to gather data for prediction and modeling of micro-weather in urban landscapes, machine learning for mission planning, machine learning to identify precursors to safety events, coordination of safety-critical autonomous systems, and verification of cyber-physical systems.
