The 14th annual robot show attracted families and spectators as judges graded the students’ final projects. Mechanical engineering students presented robots - which included s’more-roasting and light-saber-twirling machines. Largest robot show in Twin Cities hosted at U of M University students will present their concepts for the best possible prototype of a pod that will zoom through a frictionless tube at speeds of more than 750 miles per hour. University team strives to design hyperloop pod Students have to build a functioning robot for under $50.

Recyclable foam developed at the UniversityĬSE students two chemists, and two engineers are recent winners of the DOW SISCA Challenge which the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota hosts each year to challenge students to find answers to have eco-friendly solutions to the worlds problems. Membership in the academy is China's highest academic honor in science and technology. Heritage makes academy selection 'special'Įarth sciences professor Larry Edwards has been granted membership in the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Medical Devices Center research fellows received equity financing for tech spinoff Andarta to develop a 'lung pacing' device that reduces how long patients have to be treated with ventilators. Dec. U of M breathing-tech spinoff Andarta raises $1.9M U of M partnering in nation's first 'real-world testing' to reduce bird collisionsĬSE students are involved with research between the University of Minnesota and the San Diego Zoo in an experiment to test a way to prevent fatal bird strikes.
Virtual reality makes real impact in medical device testingĬomputer science and engineering associate professor Daniel Keefe runs the University's Interactive Visualization Lab, which partners with the Medical Devices Center, says that virtual reality offers promise for more streamlined testing of medical devices.
