Robotics Research Engineer Senthur Ayyappan, right, shows Jonathan Nie, an undergraduate in Robotics, the current standing of the student teams during the ROB 311 annual Ball-Bot competition in the atrium of the Ford Motor Company Robotics Building on North Campus at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, on Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
The course, How to Build Robots and Make Them Move (ROB 311), focuses on the basic principles of mechanical design, control, fabrication, actuation, instrumentation, and the necessary computer interfaces for executing robotic systems. Students are taught to analyze and simulate rigid body kinematics, kinetics, and dynamics and also evaluate the impedance properties of their designs. Not only are theoretical concepts stressed, but 'hands-on' skills are equally emphasized. The course culminates in a four-part competition that tests the students and their designs requiring a variety of movements and in different environments.

Dr. Brandon Packard works with one of his 2d Game Programming students, Brandon Pierce, a senior computer science major, at PennWest Clarion.
PennWest biology professor David Argent works with student Kris Clark over the summer to monitor conditions of atrificial reefs on the Monongahela River. Using a submersible drone, they document the river's rebound following the removal of a dam.
Dr. Mary Weidner, and Dr. Kristen West, professors in PennWest Edinboro's Communications Sciences and Disorders department, works with a small group of students between xlasses.
