The summer brings with it the opportunity for high school and college students to explore different fields, and this summer, the Advanced Robotic Systems Engineering Laboratory welcomes a number of interns who will be working on various ground and aerial robotics projects. The first wave of interns arrived today and started their learning experience by disassembling several ground robot platforms and learning the various internal mechanical and electrical components.

Projects this summer include

• Operation Robot Resurrection: Bringing new technologies to old ground robots
• Operation Blind Man's Bluff: A multi-player, online game for the submarine vs. submarine game
• Operation UAV Build: Design and fabrication of a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles
• and more!
