Profile
|
Professor James Trevelyan is a Fellow of Engineers Australia,
and chairs the Mechatronics Discipline Group at The University
of Western Australia.
He is well known internationally for pioneering research
that resulted in sheep shearing robots and with his students
he produced the first industrial robot that can be remotely
operated via the internet in 1994.
Since 1996 he has researched landmine clearance methods
and his web site is an internationally respected reference
source. He has received several international and national awards
for his teaching and research.
His most recent work is research on engineering practice
to understand what engineers and technologists actually
do
in their work.
James
has been involved with research and teaching at the University
of Western Australia, and part-time consulting on computer
controls and mechanisms since 1975. Before then, he worked
with ESAMS Ltd (part of GEC Alsthom) on avionic systems,
project
control and the Barra sonobuoy project.
