Kaden Wince is ready to design and build the next generation of autonomous robots.
At 鶹ý, he majored in computer engineering with a concentration in robotics. He plans to enter the workforce after graduation before pursuing a Ph.D. in the field.
“Humanoid robots are the future,” he says. “I want to program machines that can make decisions and navigate complex spaces and dangerous situations.”
His ultimate dream? Engineering robotic rovers for planetary exploration on Mars or Venus.
Kaden credits Dr. Heath LeBlanc, professor of electrical and computer engineering, for encouraging him to pursue research. This guidance led to three outstanding research experiences.
At the University of Cincinnati, Kaden experimented with an assertion-based system to detect “trojans” in hardware. At Cleveland State University, he helped design a robotic-assisted feeding system for people with spinal cord injuries. At 鶹ý, he worked alongside Dr. Xiangyi Cheng on an augmented reality application to support robotics education — co-authoring a paper in the process.
