Research opportunities for MS & undergraduate students

The DSIM lab is seeking highly motivated students to work on control and robotics projects. In DSIM lab, we program the robots to use sensors to perceive the environment and enable them to navigate and cooperate to perform difficult tasks. If you are interested to work with robots and learn to program them, please contact Dr. Nili (zniliahmadabadi@sdsu.edu) with their resume and transcripts. Programming knowledge is a plus.
