Summer 2021 - Summer 2023. The objective of this Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) - Advanced Industries Proof of Concept Grant is a pre-clinical assessment of a novel single-use robotic endoscope to

Spring 2019 - Spring 2023. Imagine that in the near future a patient needing surgery will swallow a small mobile robot that can autonomously perform the procedure without any external incisions or pain. Such robots have the potential to make

Fall 2018 - Spring 2020. The broader impact/commercial potential of this PFI project includes establishing a crucial body of knowledge needed for the design of micro-textured medical balloons, to further advance the health of the American

Summer 2018 - Summer 2020. The objective of this Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) - Advanced Industries Accelerator (AIA) Proof of Concept grant is a pre-clinical assessment of a novel micro-textured

Fall 2017 - Fall 2021. The goal of this research is to gain a fundamental understanding of the integrated actuation, embedded sensing, reactive control, and distributed control needs of a cyber-physical, synthetic, distributed sensing, soft and

Fall 2016 - Fall 2019. This award investigates the mechanics of how synthetic surfaces with micrometer-sized pillars adhere to and slide on soft and wet substrates. Micro-pillar arrays have been introduced on the wheel treads of robotic devices

Summer 2016 - Summer 2018. The objective of this Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) - Advanced Industries Accelerator (AIA) Program proposal is a pre-clinical assessment of a novel Endoscopically

Summer 2016 - Fall 2017.  The goal of this research is to enable closed-loop control of mobile in vivo robots in direct support of physicians so that physicians can focus on diagnosis/treatment and not primarily on guiding devices within the

Summer 2015 - Summer 2017. Back and neck pain are highly prevalent and disabling musculoskeletal conditions that affect 70% to 85% of individuals at some point in their lives. In addition to the suffering and disability it can cause for

Fall 2012 - Fall 2016. The research objective of this grant is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms that are responsible for contact, adhesion, and friction interactions between micro-patterned surfaces and soft fluid-coated substrates. The goal
