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.
