Â鶹ӰԺ

The Â鶹ӰԺ has started a graduate engineering program in robotics to fill a growing need in an in-demand field. The CU Regents have approved new Master of Science and PhD degree options in robotics that will...

Kaushik Jayaram's bug-inspired robots are being spotlighted by the Â鶹ӰԺ Daily Camera. An assistant professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Robotics Program, Jayaram is an expert in bioinspired robotics and biomechanics. He is the creator of CLARI - Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect. The...

Aspero Medical , a CU spin-out company co-founded by Professor Mark Rentschler , has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the Ancora-SB small bowel balloon overtube that incorporates the company’s patented Pillar micro-texture balloon technology. The Ancora-SB device is used for small bowel...

Assistant Professor Robert MacCurdy and his collaborators have won the ACM SIGEVO Impact Award for their outstanding contributions in the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. The award recognizes up to three papers a year that were published in the GECCO Conference 10 years earlier and have amassed a high...

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram is part of an interdisciplinary team who have received a Â鶹ӰԺ Outreach Award for their efforts to get the next generation of STEM programming into rural K-12 schools in Colorado. New science standards in Colorado require students to learn by working through problems...

The Â鶹ӰԺ is leading a major Air Force project to track objects orbiting near the moon. The Air Force Research Laboratory is awarding a Space University Research Initiative worth up to $5 million over five years to the multi-university CU Â鶹ӰԺ-led team. Also collaborating on the research...

Imagine a person on the ground guiding an airborne drone that harnesses its energy from a laser beam, eliminating the need for carrying a bulky onboard battery. That is the vision of a group of CU Â鶹ӰԺ scientists from the Hayward Research Group . In a new study, the Department...

Imagine an iPad that’s more than just an iPad—with a surface that can morph and deform, allowing you to draw 3D designs, create haiku that jump out from the screen and even hold your partner’s hand from an ocean away. That’s the vision of a team of engineers from CU...

Engineers at CU Â鶹ӰԺ have designed a new, rubber-like film that can leap high into the air like a grasshopper—all on its own and without needing outside intervention. Just heat it up and watch it jump! The researchers from the College of Engineering and Applied Science describe their achievement Jan...

A team of University of Colorado researchers has developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The advance marks an important step toward printing lifelike representations of human anatomy that medical professionals can squish, poke and...
