Grants and Grant Applications - Inside the Mind of a Robot, George I. Alden Trust. Investigators: Robert Harlan and Anne Foerst. Awarded 3/2007. Acquire a Mobile Robotics PeopleBot® robot, a 3 meter tall robot designed for interaction with humans. Students will develop behavior control programs to enable the robot to roam the halls of the Walsh Science Center. The robot, once programmed, will be used to investigate human/robot interaction.
- Information Technology Scholarship Program, Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics Scholarship Program, National Science Foundation Award. Investigators: Robert Harlan (PI), David Levine, Steven Andrianoff. Awarded 5/2000. Established a scholarship program for students majoring in computer science and planning careers as information technology professionals.
- Undergraduate Robotics Laboratory National Science Foundation Grant, National Science Foundation Award. Investigators: Robert Harlan(PI) and David Levine. Awarded: 5/2000. Develop an eight-workstation robotics laboratory to support a course on robotics and computer vision and to support undergraduate and faculty robotics research. When complete, the lab will consist of eight Khepera miniature robots, four gripper modules for object manipulation, four vision modules for 2-D image processing, and a full-sized Koala robot.
- Microsoft Developers Curriculum Project, Microsoft Corporation. Robert Harlan, Steven Andrianoff, Darwin King. Awarded: 7/1995. Develop courseware for Computer Science I, Computer Science II, Database Management Systems, Computers and Computer Applications, and Information Management Systems as part of Microsoft Curriculum Development Project. All course materials were made available via the World Wide Web.
- Undergraduate Graphics Laboratory National Science Foundation Grant, National Science Foundation Award. Dalton Hunkins (PI), Robert Harlan, Steven Andrianoff. Awarded: 5/1995. Develop a PC laboratory to support an introduction to graphics course for non-science majors. The course would serve as an introduction to science and as a motivation to the additional study of science and mathematics for non-science majors. The equipment has been upgraded but several labs developed under the project are still in use.
