Mizzou Engineers to return to G-FORCE ONE to study condensation in zero-gravity environment
A Mizzou Engineering team has received funding from NASA to conduct research around water condensation within a zero-gravity environment.
Student team devises way to control robotic arm using hand gestures
A Mizzou Engineering team has devised a way to control a robot just by moving your hands. What makes the work especially unique is that researchers only used one pair of electrodes on each of a person’s arms to send signals that moved a robotic arm, said Richard Byfield, a third-year PhD student in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department.
