Autonomous Mobile Robotics at the Multi-Scale Robotics & Automation Lab 

Abstract

The Multi-Scale Robotics & Automation Lab (MSRAL) at Purdue University performs cutting-edge research on robotic and automation systems at various length scales: macro-scale (cm to m), meso-scale (~100's of um to a few mm's), and micro-scale (10's of um to 100's of um).   All of the developed systems are designed to interact with the environment in unique ways.  In this talk, I will discuss some recent and current MSRAL autonomous mobile robotics projects on 1.) A novel micro aerial vehicle design and associated control schemes for 3D aerial manipulation tasks; 2.) Mobile manipulation systems for Industry 4.0 and space applications; and 3.) Agricultural robotics for in-row and under canopy navigation, crop monitoring, and physical sampling.

Bio

David J. Cappelleri is Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering and in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (by courtesy) and B.F.S. Schaefer Scholar at Purdue University.  Prof. Cappelleri founded the Multi-Scale Robotics & Automation Lab (MSRAL) that performs cutting-edge research on robotic and automation systems at various length scales.  His research interests include mobile microrobotics for biomedical and manufacturing applications, surgical robotics, automated manipulation and assembly, and unmanned aerial and ground robot design for industrial and agricultural applications.  Prof. Cappelleri is currently co-leading a Purdue Engineering Initiative in Autonomous and Connected Systems and is the Purdue site director for the NSF Engineering Research Center on the Internet of Things for Precision Agriculture (IoT4Ag).  Prof. Cappelleri has received various awards, such as the NSF CAREER Award, Harvey N. Davis Distinguished Assistant Professor Teaching Award, and the Association for Lab Automation Young Scientist Award.
