Spring Berman (pictured) is making progress in the control and optimization of multi-robot systems. Tom Sugar is creating exoskeletons to enhance human physical capabilities. Dan Aukes is combining robotics and…

A rookie team of ASU engineering students — most of them Fulton Schools students — put in the surprise performance of a recent international underwater robotics competition. The team named Desert WAVE (Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering) took third place over all at the RoboSub international event. The team was formed in collaboration with an…

Among more than 50 teams from 12 countries, the all-female Desert Wave team of Fulton Schools students finished third in the recent 2019 International RoboSub competition. That made Desert Wave the highest-placing team from the United States. Robots entered in the competition were designed to help gather knowledge in underwater environments that could pose dangers…

The 15 Fulton Schools students one the Desert Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering team — aka Desert WAVE — are gearing up for this summer’s Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International RoboSub competition in San Diego. They’re at work on the electrical engineering, computer programming and 3D printing tasks involved in preparing their robot, named…

A team of Fulton Schools students preparing to compete in a major collegiate underwater robotics competition are hoping their efforts also contribute to breaking down stereotypes of women in engineering, science and technology. At ASU’s Polytechnic campus, the team named Desert WAVE — for Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering — is designing and building a…

A team of Fulton Schools students are building an autonomous robotic submarine to compete in the National Underwater Robotics Challenge in June at ASU’s Polytechnic campus. The team, named Desert WAVE (Women in Autonomous Vehicle Engineering), is believed to be only the second all-female underwater robotics team in the world. Next, Desert WAVE will head…

More than 500 students from 30 high schools came to the recent FIRST Robotics competition hosted by the Fulton Schools, ASU and the Sanghi Foundation. The event is designed to give young students opportunities to learn and apply basic engineering skills, to learn problem-solving methodology and spark interest in careers in engineering, science and technology.

Combining expertise in robotics, haptic technologies, biomedical engineering, 3D printing and polymer molding, Fulton Schools researchers are developing devices and techniques to improve neuromuscular rehabilitation. Assistant Professor Panagiotis Polygerinos and Assistant Research Professor Qiushi Fu are leading work that promises to provide customized therapies to help people to regain lost motor skills in their hands…
