Biomechatronics, Agriculture & Robotics Laboratory

Research Laboratory 

The Biomechatronics & Agricultural Robotics Laboratory at TSU Interdisciplinary Graduate Engineering Research Institute (TIGER) of Tennessee State University conducts research on funded research projects related to intelligent agricultural robotics, mechatronics and meso-scale robotics. Research projects related to mathematical modeling, simulation and intelligent design of integrated hybrid mechatronic systems comprising of leak detection systems, artificial farm projects, meso-scale robotics for biomedical applications, cognitive robotics and hybrid storage systems.

The research conducted in the Biomechatronics & Agricultural Robotics Laboratory is aimed at rapid prototyping, building and preparing setups for small energy systems and robots, solving agricultural efficiency and intelligent automation issues.

The research laboratory provides outstanding research opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students in the university. Courses are offered on energy systems and mechatronics in the college of engineering that use the energy system laboratory as part of the curriculum.

Currently, the laboratory is funded by the Boeing Corporation, USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), AFRL (Air Force Research Laboratory), and TN-SCORE (Tennessee Solar Conversion and Storage using Outreach, Research and Education).
