POSITION OPEN FOR A DOCTORAL STUDENT IN THE 
INTEGRATED ENGINEERING PROGRAM AT OHIO UNIVERSITY
_________________________________________________

Project: Study of Mobile Robots mounted with a six DOF manipulator.
         The project involves:
         * interfacing an off-the-shelf manipulator arm to a mobile robot
         * interfacing the electronics needed for control of the
           manipulator on the mobile base
         * programming the system using a real time operating system 
           like Vx-Works 
         * linking the mobile base and the manipulator to an off-board 
           host computer, running a real time os,  using wireless ethernet.
         * interfacing of external sensors like vision systems to the 
           mobile base
         * developing algorithms for autonomous navigation, manipulation
           and retrieval of objects.

          
Requirements: The candidate must have either a mechanical or electrical 
engineering background. The candidate  must have had prior experience in 
dealing with  interface and control of electrical and mechanical systems.  
The project requires a fairly in-depth understanding of  both electronics 
and mechanical systems design and is a challenging prospect for students 
wishing to develop skills in both the fields. There are additional 
requirements for admission into the program.
