We're excited to debut our new video, which features the talented researchers and students making use of our state-of-the-art lab spaces and cutting-edge technologies! Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this happen!
We are pleased to announce our partnership with @WeAreHII Mission Technologies and @ClarkSchool. Our collaboration will spark innovation and strengthen the ties between academic expertise and real-world applications. Read the full announcement: matrix.umd.edu/news/story/um…
Check out the MATRIX Lab at the @CSMHawks Night of Engineering! Learn more about CSM, the @ClarkSchool programs in Southern Maryland, and student opportunities with us! You'll also see a cool AI demo by one of our grad students! Register at go.csmd.edu/noe
Highlighting achievements, celebrating a legend, and sharing our new video - Check out all that and more in our Summer 2025 newsletter! mailchi.mp/572c373dbcaf/high…
We're happy to support the App-AI and STEM summer camps! Congrats to all of this year's participants!
From on-campus, to off-campus, the Clark School offers a variety of pre-college summer programs open to all K-12 Marylanders, designed to introduce them to STEM and engineering concepts and career pathways: go.umd.edu/summercamps25

The STEM/App-AI Summer Camp interns are on a roll 🚗 As part of their preparation for the camp, they built a rover (from scratch!) and programmed it to autonomously find its way out of a 'room' by following a simple obstacle avoidance algorithm. Camp starts next week!
We are so honored for the opportunity to send @MattScassero off to retirement with a bang! Thank you so much to everyone who planned, participated in, and attended the celebration. It was such a special day.
See our writeup of the event - matrix.umd.edu/news/story/ce…
We had a great time at #MarylandDay! People tested an object detection algorithm (it did successfully identify a dog!), saw our robotic eyes that follow your movement, and learned about the other research we do at the lab. Thank you to everyone who visited our table! @ClarkSchool
The MATRIX Lab's new short course focused on printed circuit board (PCB) design will be offered this summer! This six-day course offers a unique, valuable opportunity to combine classroom and hands-on learning. Learn more and register now at matrix.umd.edu/pcb-short-cou…
We're proud of the work we do to prepare students for a future with autonomous systems!
Autonomous systems can partner with humans and take on the least desirable, most dangerous jobs. @MatrixUmd trains students to adapt to autonomous systems, tackling tough jobs and shaping the future of work. See how engineers are driving this innovation: eng.umd.edu/here-to-help.
ALT At the southern anchor of Maryland’s autonomy corridor in the MATRIX Lab, students can access unparalleled resources for innovating the next generation of AI and autonomous systems.
Outdoor research doesn't stop just because it's cold! Our Director of Test and Evaluation of Autonomous Systems is out on the water conducting research with @NAVAIRNews, @gwuengineering, @UofMaryland, and @NavalAcademy. That's the Bay Bridge in the background! 🛥️🌊
We are excited to bring back our research internships for undergrads! Students have the opportunity to contribute to a great project already in progress, or work on their own! Learn more and apply now at matrix.umd.edu/internship-pr…
Our next E@S features mini sensing devices for biomedical applications, like diagnosing and treating chronic gastrointestinal diseases like IBS and Crohn's. Learn about the research and check out the MATRIX Lab and the amazing work going on here! go.umd.edu/evening-smart-020…
Evening@SMART returns February 5th! The MATRIX Lab's Justin Stine will discuss the role of advanced manufacturing in developing miniature sensing devices for biomedical applications, like diagnosing and treating chronic GI diseases. Register now at go.umd.edu/evening-smart-020…
Best wishes to you and your loved ones this holiday season. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!
