Next week’s University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Showcase is bringing together all that is great about entrepreneurship and innovation across our four campuses. Our community is made of diverse industries and perspectives – in this case, that of a biomedical professor at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder who is also the CEO of Aspero Medical...

Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Engineering launches interdisciplinary robotics program, graduate degrees Engineering graduate students have a new degree option at the University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder: robotics. The Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Board of Regents has established a master’s and PhD program in robotics. It will provide students an education merging hardware and software engineering, mathematics and...

When engineers in the robotics research community think of what we'd like autonomous agents to tackle in the future, we often target "dull, dirty, and dangerous" tasks. However, despite a sustained boom in robotics research over the last decade, the number of places we've seen robotics in use for these...

The University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder has started a graduate engineering program in robotics to fill a growing need in an in-demand field. The Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Regents have approved new Master of Science and PhD degree options in robotics that will...

Assistant Professor Robert MacCurdy and his collaborators have won the ACM SIGEVO Impact Award for their outstanding contributions in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. The award recognizes up to three papers a year that were published in the GECCO Conference 10 years earlier and have amassed a high...

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram is part of an interdisciplinary team who have received a University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder Outreach Award for their efforts to get the next generation of STEM programming into rural K-12 schools in Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ. New science standards in Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ require students to learn by working through problems...

Inspired by the natural world, Kaushik Jayaram heads up the Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder. The group aims to develop robotic devices that benefit and enhance human capabilities in the areas of search and rescue, inspection and maintenance, personal assistance, and environmental monitoring. As an...

A Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder team has taken home third place and $500,000 in prize money in an international competition that sends teams of robots deep underground to conduct search-and-rescue operations. The Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder group, made up of engineers from across the university, took part in the final event of the Defense...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) are ubiquitous in nature and science, from flocks of birds and neurons in the brain, to social networks and quantum spin systems. That makes the question of how to control these natural or manmade systems a popular problem for engineers. Assistant Professor Xudong Chen wants to develop...

Professors Nikolaus Correll, Bradley Hayes, Christoffer Heckman and Alessandro Roncone have received a recognition award from the College of Engineering and Applied Science for their work, Introduction to Autonomous Robots: Mechanisms, Sensors, Actuators, and Algorithms , an open textbook focusing on computational principles of autonomous robots. The award was created...
