David Cappelleri creates tiny tumbling soft robots that can be controlled with rotating magnetic fields. In a newly-published study, the robots showed that they can climb slopes, tumble upstream against fluid flow, and deposit substances at precise locations in neural tissue.

We invite you to participate in an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Workshop at Purdue on October 20, 2021. This workshop will convene a broad group of Purdue researchers working with UAS systems to better understand our respective capabilities and interests, whether in the aerial platform, control systems, operations, applications, new designs, sensors, etc., with the aim of igniting new collaborations, partnerships, and proposals.

The Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University invites applications for a tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor as part of Purdue Engineering’s Autonomous and Connected Systems (ACS) Initiative.

Autonomous and Connected Systems (ACS) is a Purdue Engineering initiative (PEI) that creates a community of scholars to advance the science and engineering of autonomy, robotics, and the internet of things (IoT). ACS interdisciplinary teams of researchers explore innovative research ideas in these areas and promote technology transfer with IP, educational, and outreach activities. Faculty affiliated with the ACS PEI are often in the news for their research, grant awards and initiatives. The following is a sampling of recent stories highlighting their recognition and achievements.

Purdue University is poised to be the first to roll out TScan - an innovative, fully automated scanning system for acquiring traffic microscopic data at road intersections.

Purdue University is a partner in a $9.95M U.S. Department of Transportation project aimed at demonstrating the safety and mobility potentials of a next-generation traffic control system. Called “smart intersections,” the technology is capable of gathering and transmitting information in real time to connected and automated vehicles (CAVs).
