• Integration of control and testing equipment for a fully automated system to
  test oxygen permeation of "Glad" brand food storage bags.

Client: Advanced Cybernetics Group, Sunnyvale, CA

• Design and integration of a surface mapping end effector used with a very
  large crane robot to map the entire surface of any aircraft in the USAF
  inventory up to a C-130 Hercules. This as a prelude to the automated paint
  stripping, which is part of periodic maintenance.

Client: Document Imaging Storage Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA

• Detail design and fabrication package for the disk transfer mechanism of a
  large optical disk jukebox system.

Client: Bots, Inc., Mountain View, CA

• Responsible for mechanical design and construction of a family of
  "personality" service robots for use in a pizza restaurant. The "showbots"
  needed several anthropomorphic features (moving eyes, mouth, neck and arms) to
  perform the entertainment. The "workerbot" required all of that plus a
  food-serving compartment for transporting two pizzas (any size) and other food
  items.

Client: Motorola, Inc., Schaumburg, IL

• Lead engineer on Tabletop Factory project for Galvin Center Training
  facility. The system incorporated the concepts of random standard/custom parts
  mix, multiple cell coordination with asynchronous scheduling, CNC machining,
  intercell transfer, artificial vision and automatic tool change all on a 4'x 8'
  tabletop. Involvement was total from initial concept and proposal through design
  and implementation to final manual writing and drawing package.

Client: Pacific Communication, Inc., Campbell, CA

• Reverse Engineer custom computer chassis to accept ATX standard motherboards
  and I/O equipment.

Client: Litton/Integrated Automation, Alameda, CA

• Responsible for the design, construction and installation of a large scale
  wafer-buffering system for National Semiconductor.

Employer: Litton/Integrated Automation, Alameda, CA

• Lead Engineer for robot based wafer ASRS for National Semiconductor.
  
• Mechanical design and integration of portable, automatic rice inspection
  machine for Japanese client Satake Engineering.
  
• Design and development of precision camera mounts for Crane Paper mill.
  
• Provided preliminary robot based designs for: diffusion furnace loader
  (GaSonics), high speed ice cream bar dipper (Dove International)
  
• Non-robotic designs for: automating acrylic fiber production (Monsanto),
  high speed candy bar aligner (M&M Mars), automated malt ball
  inspection/sorting system (Leaf Candy/Whopper) and a similar system for radishes
  (Tem-Cole).

Client: Apple Computer, Inc., Fremont, CA

• Design, fabrication and installation of inspection station on the original
  Macintosh assembly line.
  
• Design and fabrication of custom enclosures for robot work cells.

  computer hard disk media. Work included general layout, component design, cell
  assembly and testing.

Employer: Zehntel Automation Systems, Walnut Creek, CA

• Engineer-in-Charge of Robotics: Integrated OEM purchased robots (Intelledex
  605 and 705) as standard product to load and unload automated circuit board
  testers.
  
• Developed customized test cells based on that product to suit individual
  customer's needs. Developed custom "end effectors" (robot gripper tooling) to
  handle multiple and odd shaped circuit boards.
  
• Supported field installations of the test cells.
  
• Supported trade shows in Chicago, Los Angeles San Mateo and Detroit.
  

Employer: Tracor Aerospace, San Ramon, CA

• Principal Investigator for DOE/JPL automated solar panel assembly contract.
  Project used industrial robot to solder solar cells into strings of any length
  and configuration.
  
• Awarded follow-on contract to build prototype, robot-based machines for
  solar panel lamination and edge sealing. Responsible for presentation of
  technical papers at quarterly program meetings at JPL.
  
• Development engineer for assembly machine to automate the fabrication and
  assembly of fusing ribbons on sub-munitions of a 155mm NATO anti-tank round.
  
• Design engineer: design for a robot-based laser system for sealing glass
  ampoules of TiCl₄ used in “cold smoke” practice bombs.
