Weekly schedule |
I was on sabbatical Spring 2010 at Le Institut de Recherche en Communications et en Cybernétique de Nantes as a visiting professor in the European Master on Advanced RObotics (EMARO). We documented our India trip on our trip blog: http://steinfamilytrip.wordpress.com/

Research Activities
We are currently developing a mobile robot to act as an avatar for a prospective distance education student to take the Mechanics of Materials lab remotely. Two master's theses have been produced relative to this project:
Summer 2012: Advance Modeling of a Skid-Steering Mobile Robot for Remote Telepresence by Stefano Mafrica. Stefano is a student at the University of Genoa who came to RWU to work as part of a student exchange agreement. Mariella Buttaci also participated in this program but her thesis is as of yet unpublished.
