ARL summer student research opportunity
Palm-sized air-deployed robot for mobile sensing
ARL Summer Student Team Research
Summer 2022 Topic: Palm-sized air-deployed robot for mobile sensing
The Army Research Laboratory and Maryland Robotics Centerseek a team of undergraduate students to conduct research to develop the hardware design, controls, and autonomy of a legged robotic platform that can survive harsh landings and maintain mobility. Students will (1) develop robot morphology and external landing structures; (2) develop, program, and test control strategies to survive ground impact and maintain mobility; and (3) develop sensing, networking, and communication systems for ground-level observation.
Students with backgrounds in hardware design, mechatronics, controls, sensing, and/or networking are highly desired.
