Enhancement of Robotics Laboratory at Tennessee State University

Abstract

Funding from 2002 DoD Infrastructure support program for HBCU/MI under BAA No, DAAD19-02-R-002 provided support for Tennessee State University to purchase five (5) ATR robots with associated laser scanners, navigation and inertial sensors, communications and speech processing tools to enhance the research capabilities of existing robotics laboratory. The impact of this equipment led to completion of 9 undergraduate senior capstone design projects and 3 masters' theses during 2002-2004. In addition undergraduate research group is formed to enrich the electrical and mechanical engineering curriculum and enhance the career opportunities of our students. The addition of new robots has enhanced our research in the area of cooperative mobile robots. The robots are able to communicate with each other and humans through wireless communication, computers and hand held devices
