color=#0000ff size=2>UT Arlington has two major robotics groups. One is an
autonomous vehicles lab which does both ground and air vehicles, and the off
campus research site, Atomation and Robotic Research Institute. Dr. Brian Huff
is an occassional club participant. He's from the industrial engineering
department, and his graduate students do it all, mech, programming, design,
everything.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I teach robotics at UNI in the Physics Department, long
distance over the internet. It's part of their digital electronics training. We
cover the physics principles in the semiconductors, the design of the circuits,
microprocessors, programming, and the EM forces in the actuators. In short,
robotics is too broad a subject to be approached from only one discipline. It's
fine to specialize in some field, like mechanics, or in electronics, but it
won't make you a roboticist. You need a much broader exposure. Consequently, it
is not possible to predict which department to look into to find the best
robotics classes.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

seems like I’m going to a university real soon, I was wandering what is a good
robotics university? And when I go for it while it only be mechs. Or will
there also be programming?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
