Feddersen Professor of School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, with courtesy appointments in Electrical and Computer Engineering and College of Education. He earned his B.Tech from the\n                      Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in 1985, and MS from Ohio State University, in 1987, and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1991, all in Mechanical Engineering. His research interests are in the internet-of-things, augmented\n                      reality, modular and flexible robotic platforms, and human-machine interactions. His current projects include computer vision for object detection and grasp planning, modular robotic platform design, shape recognition using geometric\n                      deep learning, and physical reality simulation platform. His current research emphasis is to develop a Physical-Simulation Platform that will allow one to realistically simulate interactions between workers, robots, and machines\n                      in future workplaces such as factories and warehouses.<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"22-c13\" class=\"style-515 style-local-22-c13 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!---->\n                <\/div>\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"22-c14\" class=\"h-x-container style-513 style-local-22-c14 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!---->\n                  <div class=\"h-x-container-inner style-dynamic-22-c14-group style-513-spacing style-local-22-c14-spacing\"><span class=\"h-link__outer style-514-outer style-local-22-c15-outer d-inline-flex h-element\"><a h-use-smooth-scroll=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/engineering.purdue.edu\/cdesign\/wp\/\"  data-colibri-id=\"22-c15\" class=\"d-flex w-100 align-items-center h-link style-514 style-local-22-c15 position-relative\"><!----><span  class=\"h-svg-icon h-link__icon style-514-icon style-local-22-c15-icon\"><!--Icon by Font Awesome (https:\/\/fontawesome.com)--><svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"link\" viewBox=\"0 0 1664 1896.0833\"><path d=\"M1456 1216q0-40-28-68l-208-208q-28-28-68-28-42 0-72 32 3 3 19 18.5t21.5 21.5 15 19 13 25.5 3.5 27.5q0 40-28 68t-68 28q-15 0-27.5-3.5t-25.5-13-19-15-21.5-21.5-18.5-19q-33 31-33 73 0 40 28 68l206 207q27 27 68 27 40 0 68-26l147-146q28-28 28-67zM753 511q0-40-28-68L519 236q-28-28-68-28-39 0-68 27L236 381q-28 28-28 67 0 40 28 68l208 208q27 27 68 27 42 0 72-31-3-3-19-18.5T543.5 680t-15-19-13-25.5T512 608q0-40 28-68t68-28q15 0 27.5 3.5t25.5 13 19 15 21.5 21.5 18.5 19q33-31 33-73zm895 705q0 120-85 203l-147 146q-83 83-203 83-121 0-204-85l-206-207q-83-83-83-203 0-123 88-209l-88-88q-86 88-208 88-120 0-204-84L100 652q-84-84-84-204t85-203L248 99q83-83 203-83 121 0 204 85l206 207q83 83 83 203 0 123-88 209l88 88q86-88 208-88 120 0 204 84l208 208q84 84 84 204z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>                    <span>Dr. Ramani&#8217;s Convergence Design Lab Website<\/span><\/a>\n                    <\/span>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Course Director and Instructor DR.
