Robot Solves Rubik's Cube

Six Laker Superior State engineering students were recognized at two competitions held at professional conferences when it presented "Mobile Robotics Workcell -- Using Robotics to Lure Young Minds to Manufacturing Engineering."

Under the direction of Prof. Jim Devaprasad, the senior project team Automated Promotional Engineering Systems (APES) designed and built a mobile robotics workcell that showcases various automation technologies.

Details:
Team member Kate Kuuskman, mechanical engineering, from Sault, Ont., and Leith Nader, also mechanical engineering, from Milford, Mich. (now an applications engineer with Kawasaki Robotics in Wixom, Mich.), presented a paper on the project that received honorable mention at the Pan American Federation of Engineering Societies Convention in Atlanta, Ga., last fall. LSSU was one of five universities invited to make presentations, along with Cornell, Michigan Tech, U.S. Air Force Academy and University of Puerto Rico. Fellow teammate and alumnus Brad Bertels of Ironwood, Mich. (now working for RoboTek in Brighton, Mich.) presented the project at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' International Conference of Manufacturing Science and Engineering in Ypsilanti, Mich. Again, LSSU was one of only five finalists invited to participate and present a technical paper. The project took second place in the ASME Student Design Competition behind University of Florida -- Gainesville, and ahead of University of Michigan -- Ann Arbor, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of New Hampshire.

The robot was programed by our students as part of their undergraduate course.

wow that must have been some insane programing.

[PyroTomas]

i know its just how it works, but it almost looks like its afraid to touch it, lmao, cool program btw

[rideonwater2]

thats amazing
