Three professors at the Florida A&M-Florida State University's (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering were awarded roughly $960,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to conduct important robotics research. This marks the first time that Florida A&M University has won this national grant: the NSF's Historically Black Colleges and Universities Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (HBCU-RISE) award. The winning professors are Carl Moore, a Mechanical Engineering professor, and Tarik Dickens and Hui Wang, both professors with the department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering. This program is a research infrastructure award, which supports and helps expand research opportunities at HBCUs that offer science and engineering doctoral degrees.
