“AUVSI has been a wonderful partner as we have focused the University's capabilities in the uncrewed systems and autonomy areas. When we did our drone human organ delivery project in 2019 at the UROC, AUVSI helped us broadcast that very successful endeavor and the ground-breaking capability that became an industry leader through MissionGO and MediGO (now CareDx),” said UMD MATRIX Lab Director of Operations and Outreach Matt Scassero. “As we go forward, having our industry trade association as a collaborator makes it much easier for our students to have access to their futures, and for industry to reach into our world of education and research, as well as address topical issues like regulations, DEI&A and more.”

AUVSI is currently looking for people to present at this year’s XPONENTIAL exhibition. The event is a large gathering of the uncrewed systems and autonomy community held every year. Members of AUVSI are invited to submit their proposed presentations that showcase their knowledge and perspectives, address critical industry issues, and shape the future. The deadline to submit a presentation proposal has been extended. The new submission deadline is September 29. If you’re already a member, you can submit your proposal here.

XPONENTIAL 2024 will be held from April 22-25 in San Diego, Ca.

*Neither the University of Maryland nor the MATRIX Lab benefit financially from people signing up for AUVSI memberships. We have written this announcement only to inform you about this free benefit.
