Dr. Bozkurt Uses Video Game Tech to Steer Roaches on Autopilot
Dr. Alper Bozkurt, assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University, is using video game technology to remotely control cockroaches on autopilot, with a computer steering the cockroach through a controlled environment. Dr. Bozkurt is using the technology to track how roaches respond to the remote control, with the goal […]
Dr. Mo-Yuen Chow, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University and Wente Zheng, a Ph.D. student, have developed a software algorithm that detects and isolates cyber-attacks on networked control systems – which are used to coordinate transportation, power and other infrastructure across the United States. Networked control systems are essentially […]
NC State University has received a $200K research grant from the US Department of Energy to advance its ongoing research and education in wide-area monitoring and control of power systems using Synchronized Phasor Measurements (or “Synchrophasors”). Synchrophasors are high-resolution measurements of the currents and voltages of large power systems that capture detailed oscillations of the […]
The bubble-blowing machine created by Morgan Danyi and her team worked just fine except for one minor problem: It didn’t blow any bubbles. Some parts spun too fast. The unstable platform wobbled. The bubble solution carried by spinning wands spilled before reaching the bubble-blowing fan. No solution, no bubbles. Something had to be done. In […]
