Abstract :
The Santa Clara University School of Engineering conducts a low-cost, aggressive, integrative educational program focused on developing intelligent robotic systems. The centerpiece of this program is a set of yearly undergraduate design projects in which teams of senior students completely design, fabricate, test, operate, and manage high quality robotic systems. These systems include spacecraft, underwater vehicles, terrestrial rovers, airships, telescopes, and industrial robots.
