SUMMARY:TILOS-SDSU Seminar: AI/ML & NLP for UAS/Air Traffic Management
DESCRIPTION:Krishna Kalyanam\, NASA Ames Research Center \nAbstract: We introduce several Air Traffic Management (ATM) initiatives envisioned by NASA and FAA for a future airspace that combines conventional traffic and new entrants (e.g.\, drones) without sacrificing safety. In this framework\, we demonstrate the use of state-of-the-art AI/ML modeling and prediction tools that will enable efficient and safe traffic flow in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). For example\, Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools can help extract data (e.g.\, airspace constraints) that are currently contained in legacy text and audio format and convert them into digital information. The digitized information can be ingested by route planning\, arrival scheduling and other decision support tools both on the ground and in the flight deck. We show how historical data (track\, weather & events) can be preprocessed and utilized to create accurate models to predict flight trajectories and events of interest (e.g.\, Traffic Management Initiatives). We show several application areas within ATM that benefit from AI/ML including trajectory prediction\, airport runway configuration management and automatic speech to text. The overarching goal of the work is to accelerate the integration of package delivery drones\, air taxis and autonomous cargo aircraft into the NAS without impacting the safety and efficacy of current manned operations. As an example\, we also show a strategic deconfliction scenario and demonstrate scalable algorithms that provide conflict free schedules for package delivery drones in an urban setting. \n\nDr. Krishna Kalyanam is the Autonomy & AI/ML tech lead with the NASA Aeronautics Research Institute (NARI). In his current role\, he is focused on delivering state of the art AI/ML algorithms to enable scalable and efficient manned/unmanned operations in a mixed-use National airspace. Prior to joining NASA\, Dr. Kalyanam was with AFRL’s Autonomous Controls branch\, where he co-designed several multi-UAV cooperative control algorithms that were flight tested as part of the Intelligent Control & Evaluation of Teams (ICE-T) program. Dr. Kalyanam has published 100+ papers on stochastic control\, human machine teaming and multi-agent scheduling in IEEE\, ASME and AIAA venues. Dr. Kalyanam is a senior member of IEEE and an associate fellow of the AIAA.  He is a recipient of the prestigious Research associateship award sponsored by the National Academies. He was also part of the UAV Autonomy team that won the AFRL “Star Team” award for performing the most innovative in-house basic research in 2018.
