"We are on the verge of a new and emerging industry, born of robotics and
PC platforms that will enhance the power of communication and control so
that automated equipment and advanced technologies are employed in an
environment where universal language, increased productivity, training
efficiencies and break-through technological feats are realized. Our Electrical and
Systems Engineering Department is involved in the control and systems
aspects of robotics, while our Computer and Software Engineering Department
is involved in the computer and software engineering aspects of robotics,"
explained Dr. Walter Weisel, has been a
driving force in the robot industry for the past 33 years, and is a
recipient of the prestigious Joseph F . Engelberger Award recognizing his
contributions to the advancement of robotics and automation. The developer specifies the robot kinematics and desired behavior,
and Actin produces algorithms for setting joint positions and rates to achieve
