Located between the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont and Lake Champlain, the CAPSEL Laboratory is The University of Vermont's Engineering Laboratory for Complex, Adaptive, and Precision Systems.  A division of the Mechanical Engineering, the CAPSEL Lab takes the responsibility of investigating research areas that have yet to evolve into fully matured fields.  Such topics include Robotics for the inspection, servicing, and protection of structures; Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Ground Penetrating Radar Systems; Advanced X-Ray Lithography process techniques; Biomedical topics, and others.  While these topics are diverse and cover a large variety of disciplines, they are all based on complex systems with in-depth factor interactions.  The CAPSEL Lab looks deeply into the research topics to uncover the nuances of each area in an attempt to bring light onto these otherwise abstract research areas.
