A team of Georgia Tech researchers is working with a private company to develop the Soldier Vertical Mobility System (SVMS) – a backpack-type propulsion system allows individuals to hover, travel, and maneuver hundreds of feet above the ground. Dr. Jun Ueda‘s lab has been developing an exoskeleton to help push…
An AOARD (part of AFOSR) grant “Hybrid site sensing and human-multi-robot team collaboration for disaster relief at nuclear power plants” has been awarded. Dr. Ueda (as the US co-PI) will work with Dr. Cho in CE (the US PI) and collaborators in the Hanyang University for the development of remote…
Kevin is the GWW ME school’s nomination for the Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award. He has been involved in the NSF NRI project on adaptive haptic interface.
