![]() The GRASP Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is proud to have operated a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site entitled Perception, Planning, Mobility, and Interaction for Next Generation Robotics. This REU Site ran from 2012 to 2014 and was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This REU Site is now closed; below is the information from our 2014 program. OverviewThe goal of this REU Site was to give eight to twelve motivated engineering and computer science students significant experience in cutting-edge robotics research every summer. As overviewed on this flyer, our paid ten-week program provided a well-structured environment where:
Mentored Research ProjectsThis research experience was enhanced through a carefully mentored approach to team-based research. Each student works with one or more GRASP faculty members and a post-doctoral or graduate student mentor on a current research project in robotics. Projects span the range of topics being researched in the GRASP Lab and are fine-tuned to match the interests and backgrounds of the selected students. REU students also interact with many of the other faculty, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduates working in the GRASP Lab. Student Support
ParticipationWe welcome applications from undergraduate students who are US citizens and permanent residents. We are particularly interested in applicants who come from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (low-income, ethnic and racial minorities, first generation college students, and women). See the Apply section of this website for more details on student eligibility. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. CNS-1156366.
