EXPLORE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
Join us to participate in research and creative endeavor across the disciplines with faculty members.
Note: All qualifications are preferred, and students are encouraged to reach out regardless of existing experience level.
The project team will design, print, and validate production-adjacent jigs and fixtures with a Formlabs SLA printer to support EV-battery pack tasks such as pouch-cell alignment, tab protection during welding, busbar positioning, and quick inspection gauges…Continued.
This project aims to build a VR training experience that couples an interactive station-level digital twin with guided practice for pouch-cell stacking and weld preparation. The team will start by eliciting task analyses from SMEs to define safety pre-checks, stack order rules, and common failure modes, then encode these as state machines and validation rules inside Unity/Unreal…Continued.
The team prototypes a shared-workspace workflow in which a collaborative robot and a human jointly stage and hand off small battery-pack parts on a benchtop fixture. They implement a perception pipeline (depth camera + fiducials/pose estimation) to localize parts and track the human hand, then fuse this with a ROS2-based finite-state machine that governs approach, present, confirm, release, and retreat phases… Continued.
