Human resources.

Numerous graduate and undergraduate students, postdocs, and others worked in the Dartmouth Robotics Lab throughout the period.

• Undergraduates: Sean Byrnes (now at Cornell) Fred Reiss (now at U.C. Berkeley, NSF fellowship), Marty Vona (now at MIT, NSF fellowship), Christine Alvarado (now at MIT, NSF fellowship), Michael Ross (now at MIT, NSF fellowship), Michael Taylor (now at MIT), Ken Yasuhara (now at U. Washington), David Gondek(now at Brown), Dawn Lawrie (PhD from UMass, assistant professor of CS at Loyola Univ. in Baltimore MD), Michael Shin (now at JHU), Miranda Barrows (now at Umass), Alik Widge (now in MD/PhD program at Pitt and CMU), Marisa Kolodny (architecture at MIT? starting in 2003), Michael Brewer (now at MIT in math), Greg Friedland (now at UCSF in biology) Peter deSantis, Scott Silver, Ahsan Kabir, Joe Edelman, Jason Kochel, Robert Leathern, Mathew Saldo, Morgan Soutter, David Hoffer, Vishesh Khemani, Damon Smith, Cem Paya, Hans Kieserman, Bill Bleier, Tarim Wasim, Michael Carr, Tom Millet, Josh Mills, Jun Shen, David Zipkin (at MIT), Mintcho Petkov, Michael Pryor, Erik White, Jeffrey Zimpleman, Matt Carter, Andrew Ferrone, Jeffrey Steeves, David Black-Schaffer (at Stanford) , Anne Loomis, Sarah Honorowski, David Marmaros, Murphy Stein, Jayson Farrell, Frederick Strathmeyer, Michael deRosa (at CMU), Tom Temple (now at MIT).

• Graduate students: The equipment we developed and purchased as part of this project has also lead to the training of several PhD students: Keith Kotay, Craig McGray, Robert Fitch, Igor Paprotny, Fred Henle, Qun Li, and Jon Howell. Of these students several have received their PhD degrees. Keith Kotay is now a postdoc at MIT. Rob Fitch will be joining NICTA in Sydney this Fall. Qun Li is a tenure track assistant professor at College of William and Mary. Jon Howell is a researcher at Microsoft Research. Craig McGray has yet to graduate but already has an offer for a postdoc position at NIST.

• Postdoc: We have trained one postdoc in research and teaching as part of this project. Zack Butler (now on the faculty at Rochester Institute of Technology) participated in research meetings to define a research agenda, research meetings to solve problems and package them for publication, and research meetings to define experiments. He also participated in several professional meetings and presented papers at IROS00, IROS01, IROS02, ICRA02, DARS02, ISER02, WAFR 2002, IROS03, and ICRA04. He also co-authored 3 journal papers, and was a member on one PhD committee. He was also active in proposal preparation and has taught 2 courses.

• We hosted William (Bill) Church, a local highschool teacher of physics in our lab and worked with him on understanding the physics of Crystal locomotion. Our postdoc Zack Butler helped to train Bill to use our robots. The experience gave Bill Church the experience of formulating and approaching research problems. Bill was inspired to write new proposals for working outside of his classroom.
