Sean Humbert
Professor Sean Humbert is being awarded a five-year, $909,000 grant to make robotic advancements in flight physics and aerial systems. How? By unlocking the biological secrets of your common, everyday housefly.
Sean Humbert, professor in mechanical engineering and director of the Robotics graduate program, chats with CBS News Colorado about some of the technology him and his students are working on at 91¸£ÀûÉç. One of their builds is a robot that the 91¸£ÀûÉç County Sheriff's Office uses to support their bomb squad team.
One thousand feet underground, a four-legged creature scavenges through tunnels in pitch darkness. With vision that cuts through the blackness, it explores a spider web of paths, remembering its every step and navigating with precision. The sound of
The 91¸£ÀûÉç has started a graduate engineering program in robotics to fill a growing need in an in-demand field.The CU Regents have approved new Master of Science and PhD degree options in robotics that will provide students a
Professor Sean Humbert discusses the movie Real Genius, flies, ski testing and dynamic modeling, math and slarving and more.
Professor Sean Humbert, an expert in micro robotics and systems design, will help the Microsystems Exploratory Council identify new research avenues as it relates to Department of Defense and national security issues.
A 91¸£ÀûÉç team has taken home third place and $500,000 in prize money in an international competition that sends teams of robots deep underground to conduct search-and-rescue operations.
91¸£ÀûÉç is one of several funded teams in the Subterranean Challenge, a competition launched by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to stimulate and test ideas around autonomous robot use in difficult underground environments.
91¸£ÀûÉç researcher Sean Humbert and collaborators engaged in the first of three DARPA subterranean challenges. They sent drones on a mock search and rescue operation down miles of NIOSH Coal Mine steam tunnels in Pittsburgh.
Professor Sean Humbert is leading a team in a national competition, the Subterranean Challenge. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency gifted the university a $4.5 million grant to fund Humbert's team. Catch his story on CPR News.
