Education

Autonomy

The Professional M.S. Degree in Autonomy focuses on the area of analysis, control and design of autonomous systems spanning a variety of application domains. The courses in this new major will establish fundamental theories and tools for modeling, analyzing and developing algorithms to achieve autonomy of both individual systems and a network of interconnected systems. It spans core topics such as control theories, machine learning, artificial intelligence, networks, as well as advanced courses in emerging topics.

Internet of Things(IoT)

The Professional M.S. Degree in IoT focuses on the area of analysis and design of internet-of-things such as a system of interrelated computer devices, mechanical and digital machines, sensors and so on that connect and exchange data over the internet or other communication networks. This area spans a variety of application domains. The courses in this major will establish fundamental theories and tools in computing, sensors, embedded systems, chip design, wireless communications.

Robotics

The new Engineering Major in Robotics focuses on the area of analysis, control and design of robots spanning a variety of application domains. The courses in this new major will establish fundamental theories and tools for modeling, analyzing and developing techniques in robotics. It spans core topics such as control theories, machine learning, artificial intelligence, networks, as well as advanced courses in emerging topics such as robotics, manipulators, and human-robot teaming etc.

Autonomous Robotics Club of Purdue
Faculty Mentors: Yu She (2023- ), Shaoshuai Mou (2019-2022)
The Autonomous Robotics Club of Purdue was created to grow the skills and abilities of its members through design projects centered around advanced autonomous robotics systems. It provides hands-on, real world experience to interdisciplinary teams using industry standard tools and practices.

Autonomous Motorsports Purdue
Faculty Mentor: Samuel Labi
The AMP student club was founded with a vision of building a strong research program for autonomous racing at Purdue. The team competes in the Indy Autonomous Challenge (https://www.indyautonomouschallenge.com/), with the goal of designing and optimizing algorithms for high speed (average 100 mph) autonomous racing.

Purdue Aerial Robotics Team
Faculty Advisor: Shreyas Sundaram
The Purdue Aerial Robotics Team mission is to create an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) to compete in the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International Student Unmanned Air Systems (AUVSI SUAS) Competition. This competition takes place in Webster Field, Maryland every June.

Boiler Robotics
Faculty Advisor: Sanjay Rebello
The Boiler Robotics Club competes in the University Rover Challenge, hosted by the Mars Society. We are building a mars rover that needs to accomplish a wide variety of tasks such as navigating autonomously, interacting with equipment, and detecting the presence of life in soil. We incorporate aspects from all areas of engineering, science, and business to achieve our goals. We strive to teach our members the skills they need to succeed in the club and in their professional career.

ICON Control Reading Group
Student Organizers: Ayush Rai, Hyunsang Park
The purpose of this control reading group is to enhance our learning by leveraging the outstanding control community at Purdue. We initiated our first reading group in Summer 2024 with a small number of members. Our goal is to meet once a week (in-person) to discuss new articles, book chapters, and research developments in control and related areas. The list of topics, papers, and facilitators is determined before the semester begins. During each meeting, we have a focused discussion of the selected paper/topics after a brief presentation. We do require attendees to read the paper before the meeting.
