Richard Byrne : A Principle Systems Engineer

Rather success will go to those who innovate in the organization,optimization, and customization of the process of getting work done with bots and machines”(Kelly Page.310), therefore, big business will have to worl hard towards collaberating with robots in order to maintain a successful business and for those who are starting out will have to work as hard to become successful in the robot industry.

iRobot is a very competitive firm in the robotics industry that creates many types of robots from consumer cleaning robots to drones used for military applications. In the last few years, the sales of the consumer products have been driving the majority of iRobot’s revenues. The company has a few, albeit experienced, competitors in the consumer market while in the military robotics market the company has battled with industry veterans such as Lockheed Martin. The financial structure of the company had been strong until the worldwide economic crisis hit in 2008.

While participating in the robotics competitions, I discovered my passion for robotics. Even after the initial team separated, I continued helping new members, based on my previous experience and new-found knowledge. In the future, I want to continue the legacy my grandmother and mother have given me and continue to strive for excellence, helping my country and the rest of the world by the hand of technology and

Henry Ford, an American industrialist proved, not only to America but to the world that a car can be affordable to the so called, “Everyday Man”. “Henry Ford did not invent the car; he produced an automobile that was within the economic reach of the average American” (Sorensen 1). Subsequently, Henry Ford’s assembly lines were used in World War II to make equipment for the army. His car company, Ford, still produces one of the most durable and most cost effective car on the planet. In fact, every big car franchise today uses Henry Ford’s one hundred year old assembly line in order to manufacture safe and efficient transportation for everyone. Seeing that, Henry Ford’s moving assembly line has grown more complex because the parts and variety of vehicles being built continue to evolve. As a matter of fact, more automakers continue to improve the assembly line with flexible tooling, virtual engineering and robotics in order to keep up with the demands of the twenty-first century with ambitions of making Henry Ford’s one hundred year old technology better. Above all, making the automobile less expensive was an achievement in the engineer world, and as Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress’ working together is success” (“Henry”

James McDivitt graduated and got his Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical science engineering from the university of Michigan. Then, he used his knowledge and joined the air force to serve as a pilot during the Korean War. Although engineering is a very broad topic, I find it very interesting. Last year, engineering was one of my electives even though it was not one of my top choices. I was bummed at first, but when I went to class, we built robots and I enjoyed it a lot. I always liked building things with Legos. The engineering class was similar to it, but took it one step further where the things we make can move. This is one thing that we have in common, and what interested me about James McDivitt.

Leonard Klienrock had a good education and he didn’t have many jobs. He attended Bronx high school of science. His college education was made at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While at college, he gained 3 PhD’s. One of his later jobs was the Professor of computer science at UCLA.

Vance Turnewitsch returned to Marietta College on November 10th to discuss the project that he is currently working on with the company Barnstorm Research Corp. Turnewitsch works remotely from his apartment while he digitally connects with members of his team on a day to day basis. His current project, which involves the communication of robots and efficiency in task management, is being executed by a team of about three people in his small company.

Alex Rogo is manager for one of UniCo's production plants. Recently Alex's plant, as well as the others in his division, have been having major problems shipping orders on time. The company has considered closing the plant and has given Alex only three months to make a significant improvement or the plant will be closed and he as well as all of his employees will be without a job. At this point everything seems to be crashing down around him while at a meeting, discussing the future of the division, he recalls a chance encounter with an old acquaintance, a physicist named Jonah. During their discussion Alex discovers that Jonah is currently involved in the science of manufacturing organizations. Intrigued Alex

The death of a loved one has the power to fill a person’s life with sorrow, yearning, and regret. When my best friend lost his life in a car accident, despair came over my community, my school, and me. A chasm opened in my heart because I could not stop his death. However, with recent technological advancements, many similar deaths may become preventable. Each year, human error while driving affects thousands of lives whether it be from substance abuse, distractions, or simple mistakes. In coming years, innovations in the autonomous car industry will result in the removal of driver dependency and create safer roadways for all commuters. I am passionate about utilizing the knowledge, diversity, and overall Cornell experience to improve and the safety of autonomous cars around the world.

The three founding partners of Automation Consulting Services (ACS) are meeting in the weekend, as they have done twice a year for the past six years, to discuss how business is going and to plan the future. ACS has four offices, one in Boston, one in Philadelphia, one in Detroit and one in San Jose. Before the three founding partners met they visited all four offices and discussed the situation at each office with the partners and managers at each office. During Saturday and Sunday they discuss their concerns and ideas they came across while visiting the offices. On Saturday they make sure they cover all their concerns and ideas, and they will use that to write down an
