ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ students were among only six universities invited to present an innovative network security concept in June as part of Starts H4D, a pitch competition for cutting-edge national security solutions.

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ is one of several funded teams in the Subterranean Challenge, a competition launched by DARPA to stimulate and test ideas around autonomous robot use in difficult underground environments. CU’s team is a $4.5 million collaboration led by the College of Engineering and Applied Science through the Autonomous Systems Interdisciplinary Research Theme.

Researchers in Assistant Professor Christoph Keplinger’s lab released a toolkit to show scientists, hobbyists and entrepreneurs how to create their own artificial muscles. They hope this will bring researchers one step closer to developing wearable, surgical and collaborative robots that safely and effectively help humans.

Keith Molenaar, associate dean for research in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, recently visited the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) in Guayaquil, Ecuador, to discuss expanding the collaboration between the two universities.

Researchers from ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ flew drones into severe storms this spring in one of the largest and most ambitious drone-based investigations of meteorological phenomena ever.

OnCue talked to Professor Eric Frew about how drones are contributing to cutting edge storm research, long travel days with the project, and expectation versus reality in the '90s classic tornado movie "Twister."

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ worked with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Texas Tech University, the University of Oklahoma and the National Severe Storms Laboratory on the project.

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ engineering has a long history of using drones to study severe storms and tornadoes. See the technical specs for the RAAVEN, the most flexible and sophisticated tool ever used for this kind of work here.

Michael Gooseff and Diane McKnight of civil, environmental and architectural engineering have spent years documenting the dramatic changes in the continent's McMurdo Dry Valleys.

Sponsored by governors in 25 states, the program trains students in critical skills while they compete for scholarships
