Eight universities have advanced to the finals of "RASC-AL Robo-Ops," a remotely or tele-operated space exploration rover engineering competition sponsored by NASA and organized by the National Institute of Aerospace.
A story on NBC News reports a tiny “RoboBee” bot may soon get laser-powered vision, courtesy of UB, allowing the ultra-light robot the size of an actual insect to “see” using a super-small laser range detector.
Three UB undergraduate students have designed a pre-emptive marine autopilot system for recreational boat owners that automatically takes over the driving when a threat is identified and steers the vessel to its final destination.
