Joe Brennan, the competition director, has emailed me the results of the AUVSI student competition mentioned in the last post. After a lot of googling, I have discovered some of the UAV team websites. I've also included a link to each of the university websites. If any of these are missing or incorrect, let me know in the comments or PM me (little envelope) and I'll update it.Students searching for a college with an active UAS program should find this information useful.2008 AUVSI UAS Competition Results (listed in order of prize money won by each university)Mississippi State (UAS website, university website) – Wins $10,500 for First Prize Overall, First Place in Mission, 2nd in Orals and Journal, and Prize Barrels for Autonomous Mission Flight, Perfect Identification of the Off-Path Target, JAUS and Identification and Location of the Emergent TargetUtah State (UAS, university) – Wins $8,000 for 2nd Place Overall, 2nd Place in Mission, Honorable Mention in both Orals and Journal, and Prize Barrels for Autonomous Mission Flight, Autonomous Landing, JAUS and Perfect Identification of the Off-Path Target.University of Texas at Arlington (UAS, university) – Wins $5,250 for 3rd Place Overall, 3rd Place in Mission, 1st Place in Orals, 1st Place in Journal, and Prize Barrels for Automatic Takeoff and LandingUniversity of West Florida (UAS, university) – Wins $3,750 for 4th Place Overall, 4th Place in Mission, Honorable Mention in Journal and Orals, and the Safety Prize.Oakland (UAS, university) – Wins $3,600 for Honorable Mention in Mission, Orals and Journal, and three prize barrels for automatic takeoff, automatic landing, and JAUSNorth Carolina State (UAS, university) – Wins $2,750 for Tied for Second in Orals and 3rd Place in JournalUniversity of California at San Diego (UAS, university) – Wins $2,700 for Honorable Mention in Mission Performance and Journal and a Prize Barrel for Autonomous Mission FlightSherbrooke (university) – Wins $1,900 for Honorable Mention in Journals and Prize Barrel for automatic takeoffEmbry Riddle (Blackbird) (university) – Wins $1,900 for 4th Place in Journal and Honorable Mention in OralsUniversity of Manitoba (university) – Wins $1,800 for Honorable Mention in Mission Performance and a Prize Barrel for automatic takeoffEmbry-Riddle (SOAR) (university) – Wins $1,700 for Honorable Mention in Journal and a Prize Barrel for JAUSUniversity of Alberta (UAS, university) – Wins $500 for successfully flying at the competitionUCLA (UAS, university) – Wins $500 for successfully flying at the competition
I spoke to someone a Utah State, they said this was their first year. The UA was probably the lowest cost system at the competition… Congratulations Utah State!
Time to work your Google magic again: we need a post on the winners of AUVSI's other student competition, the International Aerial Robotics Competition, which concluded last week. Can you do it?
Nicely done! Many thanks for your work on this. Your post is now the best single source on the web for information about this contest. Perhaps Joe should put a link to it on the official site. Seriously!
