Vitamin D compounds are being developed for the treatment of chronic kidney disease. The purpose of this proposal is to develop a cell-based screening platform that will allow the rapid assessment ofrelative efficacy of a library of compounds. The intern will use recombinant DNA methodology to generate a cell-based assay in which the green fluorescence […]

In this project, a modified Delta parallel robot is designed in which the number of passive joints is reduced, and an active joint is added to the hardware. To the best of our knowledge, this configuration seems to be the first of its kind. In this project, kinematic and dynamic analyses will be performed. Active […]

  CrossWing Inc. has been developing a service robotics platform called VirtualMe, which is a multifunctional mobile robot base that can be configured for many applications. CrossWing is attempting to have the VirtualMe used as an interactive guide/mascot for convention settings. The goal of this project is to develop autonomous navigation capabilities for VirtualMe that […]

Artificial 3D vision is computationally intensive. It takes an impractically long time for a robot to analyze a video frame in order to accurately estimate the locations of nearby obstacles. This project will develop new techniques for selecting only the most important regions of each video frame to analyze at each moment, so that a […]
