Guidance in Robotics Hallway, AESB Come check out our robot! It can find its own location using a laser beam sensors in a board. The phase differences among the signals tell us the relative angles with respect to the receivers. This is translated into coordinates on a computer, which then sends the location to the robot wirelessly. Illini Agricultural Mechanization Club Hallway, AESB Discover all the Illini Agricultural Mechanization Club has to offer students interested in Technical Systems Management. From networking with industry leaders to student leadership development, this organization will help equip you for success. A Promising New Energy Source: Crude Oil from Swine Manure Hallway, AESB Check out the research on this promising new energy source. Using a thermochemical conversion (TCC) processes biomass like swine manure can be transformed into a form of crude oil. Find out about the economic and environmental potential of this exciting research. Observe Cosmic Particles from Outer Space Hallway, AESB Watch as we vaporize and supersaturate alcohol particles inside a cloud chamber. This chemical arrangement can be used to make Radon particles visible. Precision Agriculture Hallway, AESB Come see what’s on the horizon for precision agriculture. Find out how U of I researchers are engineering the future with research projects including a robot that detects individual weeds and applies herbicide, a helicopter for remote-sensing and a sprayer system designed to measure droplet size and velocity. Sidney M. Knight, Freshman Agricultural and Biological Sciences “ The college of ACES has such a wide variety of degree paths ranging from science majors to journalism. ACES has a great diverse environment and unlimited opportunities to explore other countries and different cultures.”
