When we are seeking exceptional candidates to join the group, we
will post that information here. To apply, please email Russ Tedrake with your resume or CV and a short
description of your research interests.
 
Summer UROPs
We currently have one or more openings for exceptional undergraduate
students to join the group for the spring term (and possibly beyond). Current project opportunities include:
- Autonomous Fixed-Wing Perching. We are in the middle of an
ambitious project to demonstrate that an advanced control system can
enable an airplane to land on a perch in much the same way as a bird.
We have a position available for a summer intern to help with the
instrumentation of these vehicles as we transition from our indoor
demonstration to an outdoor demonstration. Ideal candidates would
have experience in electronics and possibly experience with
aerodynamics and/or model RC airplanes.
- Autonomous Fork-lift. We are currently working on a
autonomous fork-lift platform which could revolutionize Army logistics
by autonomously loading and unloading trucks (keeping soldiers out of
harms way). We have a position open this summer for a student to help
fabricate and control a forklift prototype. The ideal student would
have experience in one or more of the following areas: mechanical
design, machining and fabrication, electronics and power systems,
control theory, and control software design.
