robotics and autonomous systems

Drawn by Mason’s multidisciplinary research and teaching, Missy Cummings will create a new program in the design and deployment of Artificial Intelligence.

Research Interests: Perception, tactile sensing, robotic manipulation

Research Interests: Field Robotics, Motion Planning, Machine Learning

Sabrina Stenberg sees the SMART scholarship as a way to maximize her graduate studies at George Mason while remaining employed as a chemical engineer with the Department of Defense (DoD). Through the scholarship, Stenberg can focus on her master of science in electrical engineering at Mason full-time.

Mason's College of Engineering and Computing Rapid Prototype Research Center (RPRC) successfully completed a demonstration of an advanced heavy-lift autonomous aircraft called UAS-(L) at Fort Pickett, Virginia.

Research Interests: Bio-medical robots, soft robotics

Research Interests: Human AI-interaction, NLP, machine learning

Research Interests: Non/semi-parametric regression, methodologies for functional data, spatiotemporal data, survey sampling, high dimensional data analysis.

Leigh McCue, associate professor and interim chair of mechanical engineering is looking to take a deeper dive into her research at the Vessel Dynamics Lab. The recent recipient of the Beck Foundation Faculty Fellow award is building a fleet of maritime robots and will use the funds from the award to expand this work.

Research Interests: Neuromorphic learning, bio-inspired robotics, distributed learning, algorithm hardware co-design
