Moving a robot from Point A to Point B is never the only problem within the complex real-world environments robots operate, Associate Professor Neil Dantam says.

Mines student and faculty researchers are collaborating with industry partner Lunar Outpost to compete in NASA's Break the Ice Challenge for the chance to win $1.5 million in prizes to further develop an ice-digging lunar rover.

The Mines Robotics Club won best robot in the under one-and-a-half-kilogram weight class at the Colorado Space Grant Consortium competition, held at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in southern Colorado.

“Creating an approachable and intellectually stimulating environment is key to bringing more women of all backgrounds into the field of computing,” said Iris Bahar, professor and head of the Computer Science Department at Mines.

We asked Xiaoli Zhang, associate professor of mechanical engineering, to tell us more about how machines can learn and share knowledge to improve manufacturing processes.

Mines students spent six weeks designing and building the ultimate fighter robots for a "Battlebots" style competition on campus.

Hao Zhang, associate professor of computer science, plans to use lessons from social psychology to increase the resilience and robustness of multi-robot systems.

Dataquest Magazine has named Colorado School of Mines one of the top five universities worldwide for robotics research. Also on the list of “engineering courses and colleges that are changing the

The possibility of robot overlords? Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about that for a while. For now, scientists and engineers are focused on improving basic human-robot interaction to perform

Williams will receive $549,999 over five years for his project, “Cognitively-Informed Memory Models for Language-Capable Robots,” which will apply lessons from cognitive psychology in hopes of developing working memory processes in robots.
