Professor Cannon is developing a Virtual Reality-based
Point-and-Direct (VR-PAD) robotics system for hazardous waste
remediation. The concept is also funded as an enabling technology
for agile manufacturing where setup, rapid flexible modification,
and quick error recovery are required. He teaches courses in
robotics and control theory |

Research mission is to investigate the design and implementation
of concepts and methods of quality, productivity, and system
improvement for manufacturing organizations during periods of
change and transition. Examines ways to combine these methods
with economic cost, risk, and capital measurements to advance
the understanding of dynamic systems and improve decision making. |
