The National Science Foundation awarded a $110,531 project grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to support collaborative research on actuating and sensing objects on a free surface from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering research and education.
Specifically, the funding will enable research collaborations to develop new techniques for actuating and sensing objects that float on liquid surfaces, advancing capabilities for applications like environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and basic science experimentation. The award provides three years of support for University of Hawaii researchers to partner with other institutions on developing technologies that can manipulate and observe floating objects through non-contact methods.
