Past Work

See Students page for information on graduated/completed students and their work.

Selected Design Projects:

  •  A MECE 460 team developed a design for a robotic tool for core drilling on Mars at depths of up to 5 m (S Dwyer, N Olmedo, J Patzer, J Yuen). The Mars drill team won the CSME National Student Design Competition in Victoria in June 2010. (Wow, that was a while ago.)
  •  A MECE 460 team then developed a design for a robotic tool for taking samples of soft tailings (B Ferguson, M Janssen, N Kummer , K Martin), which is now being commercialized. This system architecture is the basis for deep sampling tooling now being used for tailings soil characterization.
