We are developing a Neutron and Gamma-ray spectrometer for deploying it on the Moon and Mars, in orbit or on a lander, to find water and other volatiles of interest for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU).
Neutron and Gamma-ray spectroscopy is a powerful tool in geophysics, and planetary science as it is the only technique that provides bulk chemical composition and elemental abundance at depth, at a range of spatial scales, which – for planetary bodies – can provide lithology, mineralogy and chemistry. Importantly, such an instrument package can identify and quantify water and other key elements relevant to assessing planetary volatile abundances and evolution, assessing radioactivity and habitability to advance sustainable human exploration.
In the field of robotics, creating grippers that can perform tasks similar to the capabilities of a human hand, is still a challenge yet to be solved.
The Tactile Internet –a communication network that is capable of delivering real-time control, touch, and sensing/actuation information through sufficiently reliable, responsive, and intelligent connectivity – is revolutionizing the understanding of what is possible through wireless communication systems, pushing boundaries of Internet-based applications to remote physical interaction. Such remote interaction capability can be used in surgery, driving, drone-based transportation, immersive education, and adventure, etc. Although the community envisions the bright future of the tactile internet, few works implement the physical platform and specify the blockages in enabling a smooth quality of experience (QoE) during the interaction. In this project, the candidate(s) will work in a team to identify those blockages and propose the novel algorithm in network stack to enable the avatar in the real world.

Ishiguro-Kano lab presentation on bio-robotics work
What is the best way for a robot to tackle challenging surfaces? Prediction? Sensor data? AI processing? Parallell computing?
Our goal is to contribute to the development of ever more intelligent systems. This can be systems that in specific tasks or environments can assist or replace human judgment, or it can be systems that can accomplish tasks we would like to automate.
The overall goal of this project is to leverage the flexibility of FPGA architecture to test algorithms and control multiple motors in robotic systems.
