Dr. Veysel Erel and Dr. Muthu Wijesundara have been awarded a new patent for their “Corrugated Diaphragm Actuator.” This invention presents a mechanical actuator that utilizes a corrugated diaphragm as the actuator element. In particular, the actuator consists of one or more corrugated diaphragms positioned on one or more walls…
Researchers at UTARI, in collaboration with faculty and students at the University of Georgia, have developed an advanced model to better understand lay error—the precision with which individuals align sight crosshairs with a target. Funded by the US Army DEVCOM Analysis Center, the study began with creating a photo-realistic tank-gunning…
Each seminar highlights a different speaker who will discuss their latest research projects, cutting-edge technology or what is happening within certain technological industries. These industries include biomedical technologies or microsystems, assistive technologies, automation and intelligent systems, unmanned systems, advanced manufacturing and composite materials. Title: Long-Term Simulation of Stem Cell Mechanobiology…
The Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies (IPPM) at the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI) made a strong impact at the 2025 ASME Aerospace Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials (SSDM) conference, with both research contributions and technical leadership. Faculty and student researchers from IPPM delivered five cutting-edge presentations…
The University of Texas at Arlington offers students both high-caliber classroom instruction and opportunities to gain real-world, hands-on experience. Connor Berberek, a mechanical engineering major who will graduate Friday during the College of Engineering’s 7 p.m. commencement ceremony at Globe Life Field, took full advantage of UT Arlington’s undergraduate research…
Dr. Frank Lewis has published the third book of a series where, he and his students explore deep research issues in Reinforcement Learning, which brings together EE feedback control and Computer Science ideas in AI and elsewhere. They explore these control ideas in Multiplayer Games, where multiple opponents each try…
Envision a world where unmanned aircraft deliver goods to your front door and transport passengers in flying taxis, cargo planes cross continents carrying vital trade goods, and fighter jets patrol battle zones—all without a human pilot at the controls. Those scenarios might seem a bit far-fetched now, but researchers are…
