Winter Term - Week 3
Good morning! Today, we reflect on the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—a leader whose vision of justice, equality, and unity continues to inspire change. It’s the perfect day to remember his call to uplift our communities and to work toward a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Best wishes for the week ahead from all of us at WISP.

Presentation: Simulation-based Design in Extraterrestrial Robotics
Thursday, January 24, 11:30AM-12:30PM
ECSC 009
The Department of Computer Science will host Dr. Dan Negrut as he gives a presentation on the design of extraterrestrial robots. These automatons will ideally interact with difficult-to-traverse terrain and engage in operations such as off-roading, bulldozing, excavation and more.
Dr. Nagrut is an expert in robotics simulations, terramechanics, computational dynamics, and high performance computing. He is one of the technical leads of Project Chrono, an open-source, multi-physics AI platform that has been used in projects such as NASA’s VIPER design and Artemis mission.
This presentation is open to the public.
