The GMU BlimpSquad team took first place in the Defend the Republic competition, held in Eaglebank Arena, George Mason University, in April 2023. After an autonomous qualifying, we stood as the first team to achieve a full sequence of autonomous ball capturing and autonomous scoring without any human intervention, and Read more…
This senior design project aims to develop a robotic eye platform, which can effectively emulate what patients with eye disorders see, allowing doctors to see their point of view and giving them the necessary insight to more accurately diagnose and tailor treatments for patients. Thanks for your hard work and Read more…
