Undergraduate Research Volunteers / Assistants
Any undergraduate students with strong motivation and commitment are welcome to join the Intelligent Perception and Control Lab (IPCL). Undergraduates in the lab will have opportunity to gain research experience by conducting independent research and supporting graduate students. Normally, there will not be any financial support for volunteers but this experience will definitely get your feet wet and train you to perform independent research. However, based on the performance and commitment, hourly rates can be applied. In addition, summer research opportunities are available, which will also be an hourly position.
