AL WICKS | Director
The Applied Autonomy and Mechatronics Research Laboratory creates practical engineering solutions by integrating sensors and micro-controllers for both military , and medical applications . The lab works with the Pediatric Medical Devices Institute , which partners with the Carilion Clinic in Roanoke , Virginia , to identify pediatric needs that can be improved with new devices such as infant breathing monitoring , and automatic oxygen delivery systems for infants . The lab also has several funded projects with the U . S . Marine Corps to research LIDAR-camera sensor fusion ; autonomous network triangulation , unmanned ground support vehicles and more .
