On February 27th, the Brain Autonomy and Resiliency (BAR) Lab had the honor of hosting visitors from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The team toured our state-of-the-art facility and engaged with our talented students as they showcased their cutting-edge research and development projects.
Our students delivered insightful elevator talks, providing an overview of their groundbreaking work in various fields of technology and engineering. The featured projects included:
- Automatic Checkerboard by Anthony Anderson: A project focused on the development of innovative automated systems.
- Neuroimaging-driven Autonomous Vehicles Driving Simulation in Extended Reality by Curt Lynch, Isaac Copeland, Kyle Byassee, and Seth Hatchett (Junior): This research explores the intersection of neuroimaging and autonomous vehicle simulation within extended reality environments.
- Next-Generation Skyhawk Tractor: Developing Electronic Steering, Electric Drivetrain, HMI, and Engine Integration by Brooke Kala, John Kerstiens, and Nathan Robison: A comprehensive project aimed at transforming agricultural machinery through advanced electronic systems and energy-efficient technologies.
- Traffic Light Control Back-up Power System Lead by Jacob Schnepple: A project focused on ensuring the reliability of traffic light control systems in emergency situations by developing back-up power solutions.
The visit was a fantastic opportunity for the BAR Lab community to demonstrate the impactful work being done by our students, fostering connections with industry leaders and highlighting the potential of our research in real-world applications.
We look forward to continued collaboration with the TVA and other industry partners as we work to advance the fields of brain autonomy, resiliency, and innovative technology.
Stay tuned for more updates from the BAR Lab!
