General Topic: Mechanical Engineering
Description of Research:ARL seeks research in platform design and control that will enable maneuverable, adaptive tactical mobility platforms for ground and air vehicles. Technical challenges include developing a computational framework for automated design of mechanical systems (soft/compliant robots and platforms) capable of performing morphological computation. Furthermore, control paradigms need to be developed for non-linear adaptive structures for which maneuverability is being maximized. The goal is to address (1) structural adaptations (2) describing structural and aerodynamic performance in dynamic environments as well as and perhaps most especially (3) controlling these highly coupled vehicles.

eCYBERMISSION Grants
The eCYBERMISSION Mini-Grant is intended to support teachers/program leaders as they implement eCYBERMISSION with their teams. Educators (formal and informal) of students in grades 6-9 are encouraged to apply. Special consideration is given to Title 1 schools and to those with underserved/ under-represented populations.
