About

Anna Trujillo is a leading researcher in autonomous systems and unmanned vehicle operations, with a focus on developing robust software architectures and decision-making frameworks for uncrewed systems (UxS). Her work at NASA Langley Research Center’s Autonomy Incubator addresses the critical challenge of integrating UxS platforms into shared airspace and environments through open, distributed software solutions. Her landmark 2015 paper, “Towards an Open, Distributed Software Architecture for UxS Operations,” has accumulated 4 citations and lays the groundwork for scalable testing and certification of diverse UxS platforms. In her 2016 study, “Using Multimodal Input for Autonomous Decision Making for Unmanned Systems” (2 citations), Trujillo advances autonomous decision-making under uncertainty by exploring ensemble classifier systems and multimodal data integration. Her contributions are pivotal for enabling safe, efficient autonomous operations across land, air, sea, and space domains. By bridging software engineering and artificial intelligence, Trujillo’s research directly supports the cultural and technological integration of unmanned systems into everyday life, making her a key figure in the future of autonomous transportation and robotics.
