Our civil and systems engineering program is at the forefront of research for the built environment—even when that environment is on the moon! Space exploration and habitation is one of the grand societal challenges CaSE aims to address through our research and academic programs. Learn more about our work related to space exploration, including Assistant Professor Jochen Mueller’s recent research to create a new actuator using 3D printing techniques: https://lnkd.in/e-VDcS9Q

There are many innovative applications of 3D printing . In Astronomy and Space Exploration. 3D printing aids in creating scaled models of celestial bodies, planetary systems, and space exploration equipment, facilitating a deeper understanding of astronomy and space science. In Robotics and Engineering Education 3D printing is used to fabricate components for robotics projects and engineering models, allowing students to design, build, and test robots and other engineering prototypes. https://bit.ly/3PC8KuU #3Dplastics #innovation

What’s going on inside the Cornell Rapid Prototyping Lab? Let’s zoom in for a closer look! The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering purchased a six-axis robot last year. Since then, students and faculty have developed inhabitable robotics chambers using 3D printing technologies, rapid prototyping, and CAD computer-aided design software. Where do you think this innovation is headed, and what do you predict next from the Cornell Rapid Prototyping Lab?

Introducing ARPICE, our AI-powered chess-playing robot! Students from Professor Peter Drexel’s computer architecture class have spearheaded every step of its creation from 3D printing all of the chess pieces to assembling the 2-axis arm and coding the AI. With Arduino managing motors, Raspberry Pi giving instructions, and a custom circuit board handling interfaces, every variable was thoughtfully tested and executed. This isn't just another CS program—it's where theory transforms into real-world innovation. #ComputerScience #Robotics #Technology

🤖 Creativity is where theory meets practice! 🚀 ARPICE is driven off a Raspberry Pi, and uses a Python chess engine to generate moves and visualize the chessboard. The Raspberry Pi is the “brains” of the operation, and communicates with an Arduino that controls the arm to grab pieces. The Arduino is responsible for turning large servo motors that move the arm along the x-y coordinate plane. The Raspberry Pi waits for the Arduino to communicate back to it, saying “The move has been made!”. When this happens, the Raspberry Pi decides the next move – by either asking for human input through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) created in Python, or generating its own optimal move based on a MinMax function (a decision rule based artificial intelligence algorithm designed by rules and a scoring system) that I wrote. 🧠 ARPICE hasn't lost to a human challenger yet, a testament to its capabilities and the hours of dedication poured into its development! I am grateful to have worked with such hardworking and talented teammates, Tyler Marois, Charles Cross, and Samuel Faucher. 💡I am eager to continue to develop more extraordinary things! #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering #devcommunity #artificialintelligence #theorymeetspractice #coding #ai #robot

Our Project Meeting in Varna August 2023 PR4 – short recap on the activities: what has been done and which are the next activities After a short presentation by Tihomir of TUV team, Gyula of OU team provided a recap of the activities carried out so far and shared a number of suggestions with the consortium to make the course interactive. Gyula also reminded partners of the structure that each topic of the course should adopt. 1st day PR4/A2: presentation and discussion for improvements of the topics from all involved partners After a short break, the meeting moved on with a discussion of the topics prepared by the partners. This space was reserved for a group brainstorming on the work done by each topic’s author and to arrive at suggestions for improvement. 2nd day PR3: presentation of what the course will look like within the Collaborative Platform; discussion for possible improvements. Tihomir of TUV team presented the structure of the collaborative platform, focusing on how videos, presentations and quizzes will be displayed. Partners agreed to have a single course composed of 14 topics. The full title of the course will be “3D PRINTING FOR INCLUSIVE HEALTH CARE (improving digital skills for ergonomics and bioengineering)”. All partners will be allowed to edit the course and upload autonomously the content that refers to the topics assigned to them. Stefano Pianigiani (Valuedo)

As a dedicated naval architecture student, I'm immersing myself in the dynamic world of 3D printing for my upcoming thesis, exploring its potential impact on ship construction. The maritime industry is at the forefront of transformative technologies, and I'm excited to uncover the possibilities that 3D printing brings to ship design and manufacturing. From redefining hull shapes to experimenting with novel materials, I'm on a mission to unravel the complexities and opportunities in this emerging field. I'm keen to connect with professionals and experts in naval architecture, 3D printing, and the broader maritime sector. If you have valuable insights, experiences, or suggestions, I invite you to share your knowledge! Here's a question to spark a discussion: How do you envision 3D printing shaping the future of naval architecture, and what challenges do you foresee in its widespread adoption in the maritime industry? Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments or connect for a more in-depth conversation. #NavalArchitecture #3DPrinting

🌟 Exploring the Boundaries of Creativity with Computational Design! 🖥️ Computational design empowers us to merge artistry with algorithms, unlocking limitless possibilities in architecture, product design, graphics, and beyond. It's where precision meets innovation, where data fuels inspiration, and where complex problems find elegant solutions.
