Curt M Salisbury Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical
Engineering I am a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical
engineer at Stanford University. I am a member of the BioRobotics
group lead by Dr. J. Kenneth Salisbury. I expect to graduate in the early fall of
2009. I am also a Senior Member
of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories in
the Intelligent Systems Controls group. Sandia is sponsoring my program through
the Doctoral Study Program. I
am a hard core mechanism designer…always dreaming of the next
elegant solution to the world’s electromechanical problems. I especially enjoy the
challenge of severely over-constrained design problems. The design of a haptic device that is
low-cost and high-fidelity is an example of such a design problem. I also enjoy design problems in the areas
of intrinsically safe robotics, mobility, manipulation, agricultural
mechanization, household automation, human-computer interaction, military
robotics, surgical robotics, medical devices and last but not least,
mechanized art.
