Presently it is being used for contact-less package deliveries, but there remains a large space available for storage of key items needed for research but not used on a daily basis. Mark and the team have developed the attached short guidelines document for use of the storage building. It describes sectioning off of the space and prescribes the type of storage rack systems that have been approved for holding general items. The racks also allow pallets to be rolled under the them and in the future we can expand to a roll-around stairway to store lighter items higher on the shelves. Please review the attached guidelines document and contact Mary Jo if you’re interested in proceeding with using some of this space. Lost Item A ring was lost last week (possibly in the men’s bathroom). If you find a silver ring with black lines and black dots please let Jaime Turner (jjturner(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jjturner@purdue.edu> | 765-494-3509) know so she can return to the owner.

Reminder: BNC Faculty Seminar TODAY @ 12:00noon. [cid:image004.jpg@01D685C0.EB336F80] The BNC Faculty Seminar Series is designed to provide faculty a platform to present an overview of their research and the opportunity for collaborative discussion with other BNC faculty and researchers across six colleges and 15 academic units. David J. Cappelleri Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering and in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (by courtesy) March 4th, 2021 | 12:00pm Join Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/91754078808 Title: Microrobotics: Robotic Systems at the Microscale Abstract: The Multi-Scale Robotics & Automation Lab (MSRAL) at Purdue University performs cutting-edge research on robotic and automation systems at various length scales: macro-scale (cm to m), meso-scale (~100's of um to a few mm's), micro-scale (10's of um to 100's of um), and nano-scale (nm). All of the developed systems are designed to interact with the environment in unique ways. In this talk, I will discuss some recent MSRAL microrobotics projects on developing learned models for 2D micromanipulation tasks and different types of families of wireless mobile microrobots driven by external magnetic fields that we have developed over the years. These include the micro-scale tumbling microrobot (µTUM), the micro-force sensing mobile microrobot (µFSMM), and our work on controlling teams of mobile microrobots. [cid:image002.png@01D7106E.E009E1F0]Bio: David J. Cappelleri is an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering and in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (by courtesy) at Purdue University. Prof. Cappelleri founded the Multi-Scale Robotics & Automation Lab (MSRAL) that performs cutting-edge research on robotic and automation systems at various length scales. His research interests include mobile microrobotics for biomedical and manufacturing applications, surgical robotics, automated manipulation and assembly, and unmanned aerial and ground robot design for agricultural applications. Prof. Cappelleri is currently co-leading a Purdue Engineering Initiative in Autonomous and Connected Systems and is the Purdue site director for the new NSF Engineering Research Center on the Internet of Things for Precision Agriculture (IoT4Ag). Prof. Cappelleri has received various awards, such as the NSF CAREER Award, Harvey N. Davis Distinguished Assistant Professor Teaching Award, and the Association for Lab Automation Young Scientist Award. He is also the co-founder of C2 Medical Robotics, Inc., a startup company spun out of intellectual property developed in the MSRAL, that is developing the world's first robotic lumbar discectomy surgical system.
