Current Projects

Take a look at the exciting real world projects we're currently working on. Members of RSE are divided into subgroups to work on each of our projects. We use dynamic teams to create an environment of growth that fosters feelings of contribution and confidence.

AutoDrive II
The AutoDrive II Challenge is a continuation of the original AutoDrive competition sponsored by SAE and General Motors to develop and demonstrate an SAE Level 4 autonomous driving passenger vehicle.

See AutoDrive II page for more information
Underwater ROV
Augment and modify an existing, off the shelf, low cost, and open source ROV to build a towable underwater video & sonar vehicle. This towable glider will be used for collecting image and sonar data of the bottom of the portage.

Past Projects

The Robotic Systems Enterprise has offered a number of projects over the years. Below you can see the projects we've previously worked on.

AutoDrive
Three-year autonomous vehicle competition which tasked students to develop and demonstrate a full autonomous driving passenger vehicle.
GVSC Leader Follower
Autonomous convoy of five Jackal robots, such as the one seen above, that can navigate to a destination while maintaining a safe distance between the vehicles and avoiding obstacles.
Niryo Ned
Niryo Ned has educational as well as outreach purposes. We create demonstrations that could be easily replicated by prospective students visiting our lab and inspire the next generation of roboticists.
T-Shirt Cannon
A robot that will be able to shoot t-shirts into the crowd at the various events happening on Michigan Tech's campus (hockey, football, etc.). The robot's primary advantage will be the remote operation and release.
Aurora Minor Zumo
Each new member of our enterprise has a chance to show off their creativity and learn crucial skills while working with the Zumo robot during their first month at RSE. Completed projects enter the competition where we award the most innovative and interesting designs!
