Cyber-collaborative protocols are a groundbreaking approach to optimizing interconnected systems, emphasizing collaboration, efficiency and intelligence in cyber-physical systems. “Cyber-Collaborative Algorithms and Protocols: Optimizing Agricultural Robotics” by Shimon Y. Nof, Purdue professor of industrial engineering and director of the university’s PRISM (Production, Robotics, and Integration Software for Manufacturing & Management) Center, focuses on precision agriculture and agricultural robotics to address critical issues like food security.
A group of health care curious children in grades 1-3 were recent special guests of the Purdue Curiosity Clinic, a joint program between the School of Nursing and the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. The main goals of the Curiosity Clinic are to give the Purdue students experience interacting with healthy children, something many internships do not provide because they often focus on adult patients or sick children, and to teach the College of Health and Human Sciences students how to adapt health education topics to the pediatric population — sometimes changing those messages on the fly as the kids ask questions.
