phases of my research.I owe a lot to him for my concepts in robotics and controls, in addition to technical writing skills.His guidance has been invaluable in shaping my career.Much success in this interdisciplinary work has been possible due to the contributions of Dr. Jeffrey Heinz in formal language theory.I appreciate his enthusiasm and support that helped me to learn formal languages concepts and apply them to hybrid systems.I acknowledge the joint work with Dr. Herbert Tanner and Ms. Jie Fu for developing much of chapter 3 of this thesis, that deals with modeling a hybrid robotic system and abstracting it to a discrete (finite) transition system.I also want to thank Mr. Nicholaus Lacock who helped me with control programs in C++ that enabled us to exhibit a demo with a robot fetching a print-out.
