The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded a $1,220,133 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University on September 15, 2021 with a completion date of August 31, 2025.
The grant funds research to develop modular robots constructed using DNA nanotechnology, modeling nanostructures with graph neural networks, and manufacturing DNA origami. This work directly supports the goals of the NSF Directorate for Engineering's CFDA 47.041 Engineering program to foster innovation in engineering research. By enabling the self-assembly of modular robots at the nanoscale using DNA, this project explores an emerging area of engineering with potential applications across industries. Carnegie Mellon University will deliver research outcomes through its Office of Sponsored Programs over the four year grant period.
