All faculty members and graduate students have workstations or terminals in their offices capable of accessing any system in the department. The CIS Computing Facility has five groups of computers configured for specific applications. They are used mainly for research in robotics and manipulator control and vision. Users are CIS researchers in robotics and vision. The primary applications are for research in artificial intelligence.
Users are researchers in artificial intelligence.
The primary applications are for research in computer graphics and animation. The user community consists of CIS researchers in graphics and non-CIS researchers sponsored by CIS faculty members. Some of the computer systems include special-purpose subsystems for distributed or parallel operations. The primary applications are for research in digital design and distributed systems. The user community for this lab includes graduate and undergraduate students in electrical engineering and computer science taking classes assigned to the lab and CIS researchers in distributed systems.
