Researchers have created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing vibration from piezoelectric actuators, ultrasound sources or even tiny speakers. Swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” might work together to sense environmental changes, move materials – or perhaps one day repair injuries inside the human body.

Nahom is quite possibly the best distance runner in Georgia Tech history. Became the first Georgia Tech student-athlete since 1994 to be named an all-American in cross country … ran the fastest time in 23 years by a Yellow Jacket in the 2017 NCAA Championships and finished his career by leading every race he’d competed in over his final two years. He holds the record in every long-distance race the Yellow Jackets compete in. And to cap it all of, he's earning his master's degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Science with a goal of becoming a robotics engineer.
