Faculty Profile

Carl A Moore, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Howard University and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Northwestern University in the summer of 2001. He worked for 2 years as a research engineer and as a manufacturing engineer for Eastman Kodak Company in the Copy Products and Single-Use Camera departments. He also has professional research experience with Ford Motor Company's Interactive Conceptual Design and Applications lab. He teaches courses in robotics. His research interests include a new class of robot-like devices called cobots. A cobot is a robot designed for direct physical collaboration with a human operator. His other research interests include haptic design and control, robot assisted manufacturing and industrial design, and mobile robots.
