Dr.
Eric M. Schwartz received two Bachelors degrees, one in Electrical
Engineering and one in Mechanical Engineering, at the University of Florida
in 1984. He received his Masters and Ph.D. from the University of Florida
in 1989 and 1995, respectively. Dr. Schwartz is now Assistant Director of
the Machine Intelligence Lab (MIL), and has been working, first as a student
and then a faculty researcher, at MIL since 1984. Dr. Schwartz has been
teaching at the University of Florida as a faculty member since 1995.
With
degrees in both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Schwartz is
particularly qualified for work in robotics. His research in the
mathematics and control of robotic manipulators and his recent work with
Autonomous Mobile Agents is testament to his wide ranging capabilities.
Since 1995, as a faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
Department at UF, Dr. Schwartz has taught a wide range of ECE courses
including Circuits 1, Circuits 2, Digital Logic & Computer
Systems, Digital Design, Microprocessor Applications,
Intelligent Machine Design Laboratory, and Kinematics and Dynamics of
Robot Manipulators. Prior to 1995, Dr. Schwartz taught or assisted in
teaching a robotics course in Italy and two mechanical engineering courses:
Machine Analysis and Design 1 and Dynamics. Dr. Schwartz
worked at the Electronic Communications Laboratory (ECL) at the University
of Florida from 1989-1995. He has also had working stints at Allen-Bradley
Corporation, IBM, Bendix Avionics and Universal Security Instruments.
