49 Graduate Programs in Robotics part6 United States: New York University (NYU)
NYU's Department of Computer Science home page is at:
[89]http://cs.nyu.edu/ "Degrees:"
We offer Ph.D. and MS in computer science. Ph.D. students may work
thesis research in robotics. MS students may work on a thesis (as a
substitute for one course). All graduate students are eligible to
enroll in Advaned Laboratory and work on a project in robotics.
Qualified undergraduates may take Independent Study.
The Department of Computer Science offers graduate and undergraduate
courses in robotics, computer vision, AI and neural computation. There
is also a weekly robotics colloquim For admissions information,

"What is Multimedia Robotics?"
"Multimedia Robotics" is a new area of computer science concerning new
markets for robotics technology, emphasizing the emerging areas of
virtual reality and telepresence, animation and entertainment, and
bioscience material processing.
Wrench Displays
Force and Torque input/output devices for user interfaces, also
called "haptic displays".
Bioscience Applications
Microrobots in DNA micromanipulation,
Wrench displays for surgical VR training applications,
Microsurgical instruments
Advanced actuators for VR and Multimedia
Scaling theory and dynamics of piezeoelectrics, shape memory
metals, electromagnetics and other new actuator technolgies.
Telepresence
Robotics and the WWW, Video Telephony, Telesensuality
Research underway at NYU represents each of these four areas.
