K. Kawamura · 2003
The robotics field has evolved from industrial applications in the 1960s to nontraditional applications such as medical surgery and outdoor search and rescue missions. The Center for Intelligent Systems (CIS) at Vanderbilt University (See: http://eecs.vanderbilt.edu/CIS) was established in 1985 to advance the state of the art in intelligent systems through research and development of human-robot symbiotic systems. Currently research emphasis is on humanoid robots, collaborative teams of human and mobile robots and robust human-robot interface technologies. Other research areas include brain-machine and holonic manufacturing.
