What if a robot could go where people can’t?
Margaret McGuinness, assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, and her team are developing a soft, flexible “vine robot” designed to navigate through narrow, dangerous spaces to help first responders locate people trapped in rubble.
We’re engineering a better world for all.
At Notre Dame Engineering, we seek to create an inclusive community that educates the whole person. To form skilled, ethical engineers who work for the authentic good of all. And to conduct research that transforms fundamental discoveries into technologies with broad impact.
That’s our mission. Won’t you join us?
