robotics at UMass Lowell UMass Lowell is home to one of the most advanced robotics-testing centers in the nation – the New England Robotics Validation and Experimentation Center, also known as NERVE. For two years, UMass Lowell students and faculty at NERV programed “Valkyrie,” one of only four robots in the world that NASA hopes will allow use to explore and live on Mars. The NERV team performed research and programing to improve the robot’s autonomy: manipulating tools, climbing a ladder and completing high-level tasks.
UMass Lowell robotics minor Robotics research isn’t just for faculty or alumni – even UMass Lowell undergraduate students can get involved. Students launch their robotics career through the robotics minor program, offered by the departments of Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at UMass Lowell. Students will receive a solid foundation in robotics while earning a bachelor’s degree in engineering or computer science. Students can also develop in-demand robotics research skills in the on-campus labs or through an internship. Robotics courses at UMass Lowell include: >> Computing I >> Microprocessor Design I/Assembly Language Programming

Robotics clubs and competitions UMass Lowell robotics alumni have continued their work and research at:
Students interested in discussing and researching robotics can join the UMass Lowell Robotics Club. The club competes annually in the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) in Rochester, Michigan.
>> BAE Systems >> EMC
In addition, a team of UMass Lowell robotics students (the “Rover Hawks”) beat out seven other university teams to win the NASAsponsored 2013 RASC-AL Exploration Robo-Ops Competition. Teams were challenged to build planetary rover prototypes and to demonstrate their capabilities by performing a series of competitive tasks in a Mars-like environment.

hear from our students The experience has helped me be more composed with myself. I like how rigorous the engineering program is and how dedicated the professors are with their drive for the students to excel.” ABDULLAH SHERAZI ‘18, PAKISTAN Undergraduate UMass Lowell Navitas GSSP: Mechanical Engineering
I chose UMass Lowell because I the engineering program is very good and because I wanted to study robotics.” THOMAS LOW, HONG KONG Undergraduate UMass Lowell Navitas GSSP: Electrical Engineering
