  • Humanitarian Design Corps refurbishes outdoor charging station on Case Quad

    You may already be familiar with the solar charging table that sits in the Case Quad near the Michaelson-Morely Fountain. Emerging from the center of the table are two solar panel structures that, years ago, were able to power outlet plugs capable of charging devices like phones and laptops, making it easy for the campus community to enjoy the sunshine while studying outside. Now, thanks to the Humanitarian Design Corps, the table is back to work.

  • Kathryn Daltorio's Crab Lab tests underwater robot in Veale Center swimming pool

    Earlier this year, the Veale Center swimming pool was a testing site for Kathryn ‘Kati’ Daltorio’s Crab Lab thanks to a collaboration with the Motley Scuba Diving Club. Supported by the Department of Defense, researchers in the Crab Lab, including PhD students Mingyu Pan and Yifeng Gong, are creating a waterproof crab robot that is capable of searching for and removing underwater unexploded ordnance (UXO) in shallow water.
