Prof. Lee and her team starts a new DARPA OFFSET Sprint 5 project (PI: Kiju Lee, 04/03/20 – 01/02/21) to develop an adaptive Wheel-and-Leg Transformable Robot (α-WaLTR) for versatile locomotion in urban military environments. The 6-month base period will focus on technical development and experimental evaluation of the new hardware platform; and the next 3-month optional period will focus on system-level integration with the existing platform technologies developed by Swarm Systems Integrators.

Project Team:

• Kiju Lee: PI, Project Lead (Point of Contact)
• Chuanqi Zheng: Technical Lead, Graduate Student, Mechanical Engineering, TAMU
• Siddharth Nitin Sane: Tech Team Member, Graduate Student, Mechanical Engineering, TAMU
• Vishnu Kalyanram: Tech Team Member, Graduate Student, Mechanical Engineering, TAMU
• Jenna Horn: Project Assistant, Undergraduate Student, TAMU

[Closed] Summer graduate RA positions available (May 15 – August 14, 2020)

ART Lab is seeking for highly motivated upper-level undergraduate and graduate students interested in mechanism design, robot development, and control for swarm robotic applications. The RAs will work on a highly intensive, short-term project developing mobile robots with versatile locomotion capabilities. Please see below for required and preferred skills.

• Proficient CAD skills (required)
• Proficient programming skills in MATLAB, Python, and/or C++ (required)
• Demonstrated teamwork skills (preferred)
• Experience with UNITY or ROS (preferred)
• BS in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or Computer Science (required)
• MS in relevant engineering disciplines (preferred)
• US citizenship (preferred)

If you are interested, please send the following materials to Prof. Kiju Lee: CV or Resume including the list of courses taken relevant to the project and GPA and a name and contact information of one reference. The positions will be open until filled. Please see below for recent announcements associated with this post.

• [Updates on 05-01-2020] Undergraduate students are not allowed to be on TAMU campus, and therefore undergraduate RA positions are no longer available.
