The University of Texas at Arlington offers students both high-caliber classroom instruction and opportunities to gain real-world, hands-on experience. Connor Berberek, a mechanical engineering major who will graduate Friday during the College of Engineering’s 7 p.m. commencement ceremony at Globe Life Field, took full advantage of UT Arlington’s undergraduate research opportunities by working alongside researchers…

Dr. Frank Lewis has published the third book of a series where, he and his students explore deep research issues in Reinforcement Learning, which brings together EE feedback control and Computer Science ideas in AI and elsewhere. They explore these control ideas in Multiplayer Games, where multiple opponents each try to win the game and…

Envision a world where unmanned aircraft deliver goods to your front door and transport passengers in flying taxis, cargo planes cross continents carrying vital trade goods, and fighter jets patrol battle zones—all without a human pilot at the controls. Those scenarios might seem a bit far-fetched now, but researchers are working diligently to develop these…

Exciting developments are happening at the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI)! Recently, CBS11 featured UTARI in a special segment, providing an exclusive look at the groundbreaking research and innovative projects taking place at the institute. Robbie Owens, the CBS11 reporter, took viewers behind the scenes to showcase the cutting-edge work being done in various…

Advances in Industrial Control is a series of monographs and contributed titles focusing on the applications of advanced and novel control methods within applied settings. The…

Dr. Nick Gans, head of UTARI’s Automation and Intelligent Systems Division and Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, and Cody Lundberg, Research Scientist II, has been awarded a patent for “Camera and Sensor System for Measurement of Road Surface Deflection.” Gans and Lundberg collaborated with Novateur Research Solutions on an Army Phase 1 and 2…

Before a new autonomous system is set loose in the world, it must be thoroughly tested. That’s where the Autonomous Systems Lab at the UTA Research Institute (UTARI) steps in. Small companies that develop technologies to control autonomous vehicles or to counter unmanned aircraft system (UAS) applications often do not have the ability to test…

Dr. Ye Cao, Associate Professor, Materials Science and Engineering, has earned a five-year, $500,000 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to make computer processing of large amounts of data faster and more efficient with devices called memristors. Applications such as deep learning require computers that can process large amounts of data. They also necessitate…

Dr. Nick Gans, Head of UTARI’s Automation and Intelligent Systems division and Associate Professor, Computer Science & Engineering, is a recipient of the University of Texas System Rising Star Award. STARs Awards of up to $300,000 may be made for recruitment or retention of promising faculty members who are recruited in a tenure-track position at…
