NSF RoSeHUB Center

NSF Center on RObots and SEnsors for the HUman well-Being - Purdue Site

The NSF RoSe-HUB center is a multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, or I/UCRC, that works on a collaborative, medium-term research agenda addressing the development of robots and sensors for human assistance, home healthcare, agRobotics, emergency response, high-consequence materials handling, and manufacturing at small, medium and large scales. The academic partners include Purdue, University of Pennsylvania, University of Denver, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the lead site, University of Minnesota.

Projects

Projects under the Purdue RoSe-HUB site are proposed by faculty, in consultation with industry members, voted on the Industrial Advisory Board, and funded by the Executive Board of the member universities. This ensures strong collaboration and buy-in from both industry and the faculty researchers.

Hot Zone Sampling with Long-Distance UAVs and UAV Swarm

PIs: Dave Cappelleri, Purdue; Richard Voyles, Purdue; Shoushuai Mou, Purdue

Modular Serpentine Robots with Reconfiguration

PIs: Richard Voyles, Purdue; Howie Choset, Carnegie Mellon


The MOTHERSHIP represents a new class of hybrid ground robot that combines treads, limbs, and serpentine locomotion.

MOTHERSHIP - Modular Omnidirectional Terrain Handler for Emergency Response, Serpentine and Holonomic for Instantaneous Propulsion

This novel robot was developed as part of an instrument developed under NSF MRI 1450342 and is used by projects in the NSF Center for Robots and Sensors for the Human Well Being (RoSeHUB) NSF 1439717.
