The University of Missouri–St. Louis School of Engineering is working to expose its students to the latest technology tools in electrical engineering, including robotics. The students have had access to humanoid and quadruped robots in the lab. The robots operate using ROS2, an open-source software development kit and middleware framework designed for building robotics applications. The students have been learning how to program the robots using C++ and Python.
Social media manager Valerie Furlong attended a presentation of students’ end-of-the-semester projects in early May and spoke to Professor and Electrical Engineering Program Coordinator Xin Wang about these important tools and how they fit in the electrical engineering curriculum in this video:
