Srinivas Peri hopes to one day develop robots used to mine the surface of Mars.
“It might be too ambitious right now, but that’s a thing I’m looking forward to,” the Northeastern robotics graduate student says, noting he has quite a bit to learn before accomplishing that goal.
Since starting the masters in robotics program at the university last September, Peri has been able to learn more about the technologies that make those kinds of robots tick — from their navigation and sensing capabilities to the mechanisms and control systems that enable their movement.
He’s also getting some real-world experience.
Peri is in Germany right now completing a six-month co-op at TWT Science & Innovation, a product development consulting firm…
