The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Microscale devices can be found in applications ranging from sensors to structural components. The dominance of surface forces at the microscale hinders the assembly processes through nonlinear interactions that are difficult to model for automation, limiting designs of microsystems to primarily monolithic structures. Methods for modeling surface forces must be presented for viable manufacturing of devices consisting of multiple microparts. This paper proposes the implementation of supervised machine learning models to aid in automated micromanipulation tasks for advanced manufacturing applications. The developed models use sets of training data to implicitly model surface interactions and predict end-effector placement and paths that …

Undergraduate Research & Mentoring Program
Unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones, have been more and more widely used in recent decades because of their mobility. They appear in many applications such as farming, search and rescue, entertainment, military, and so on. Such high demands for drones lead to the need of developments in drone technologies. Next generations of commercial and military drones are expected to be aware of surrounding objects while flying autonomously in different terrains and conditions. One of the biggest challenges to drone automation is the ability to detect and track objects of interest in real-time. While there are many robust machine …
