The Cluster for Unmanned Vehicles and Robotics Launches New Website

The Cluster for Unmanned Vehicles and Robotics (CUVR) announces the formal launch of its new website (www.cuvr.org). The website showcases the numerous activities undertaken by CUVR including its initiatives for air, ground and marine systems. Topical concerns over personal privacy issues, especially directed towards drones, has provided CUVR with a unique opportunity to capture public opinion through its online forums and provide a sounding board for the general public to way-in on the issue.

The CUVR website also serves as a one-stop informational resource for both military, industrial and commercial news as related to the identified markets.

Throughout the year, CUVR will promote educational courses and seminars, held locally, and taught by some of the industry’s most influential and talented people. This activity will be open to the general public for those interested in learning more about the industry. The first course, “Public and Commercial Use of UAV’s in the USA”, is being held on March 23, 2013 at the Reading Regional Airport and affords the student an opportunity to become familiar with the systems, regulations and costs for flying unmanned air vehicles in the United States. The cost for the class is $90 and includes lunch. The afternoon will also feature a 1hour flight demonstration. A Certificate of Completion will be issued to those attending.

CUVR is also listing a membership option, which provides a broader range of services. Membership is open to all individuals and organizations supporting applications for ground, air and marine based unmanned vehicles and robotics technologies.

Thomas Ciesielka, Founder and President stated, “Through this website, companies, individuals, and educational institutions will openly interact to create an exclusive environment for collaboration and continue to promote the region as a force multiplier in the industry”.
