Darwin Caldwell
Professor Darwin Caldwell (born Ballymena, Northern Ireland) is a noted international researcher and academic in robotics who is currently Research Director at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy.
He has been heavily involved as project leader in the development of the iCub, a small-size humanoid robot being designed by the RobotCub Consortium.
He has published over 600 papers and has received awards at several international conference and events.
He is visiting professor at the University of Sheffield, King's College London, University of Wales Bangor and University of Manchester.
Caldwell studied at Ballymena Academy and then completed his B.Sc and Ph.D in Robotics from the University of Hull in 1986 and 1990 respectively, and completed an MSc in Management at the University of Salford in 1994
His research interests include innovative actuators and sensors, haptic feedback, force augmentation exoskeletons, dexterous manipulators, humanoid robotics (iCub), bipedal and quadrupedal robots, biomimetic systems, rehabilitation robotics, telepresence and teleoperation procedures, and robotics and automation systems for the food industry.
He was previously at the University of Salford between 1989 and 2007 as a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Reader and finally Professor of Advanced Robotics in the Centre for Robotics and Automation between 1999 and 2007
He is currently Chair of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Chapter (UKRI) and a past co-chair of the IEE (IET) Robotics and Mechatronics.
He is on the editorial board of "Industrial Robot" as well as being guest editor of several journals.
In association with Professor John Gray of the University of Salford, he was responsible for the establishment of the Yorkshire Forward funded "Centre for Food Robotics and Automation" (CenFRA).
Dick Volz Award
The Dick Volz Best US PhD Thesis in Robotics and Automation is a yearly award to recognize outstanding Ph.D. thesis in the field of robotics and automation at any research institution in the United States of America.
It is awarded with a four years delay as it is based both on thesis quality as well as post-graduation impact, hence, the 2007 Dick Volz
Best US PhD Thesis Award was awarded in 2011.
Its European counterpart is the Georges Giralt PhD Award.
The award is named after Professor Emeritus Richard A. Volz.
He was a former Texas A&M Department of Computer Science department head and the president of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society in 2006-2007.
To honor his outstanding research on robotics and control as well as his mentoring, the Dick Volz Best US PhD Thesis in Robotics and Automation was established.
The list of award recipients includes the following:
The award committee includes Seth A. Hutchinson (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign), John M. Hollerbach (University of Utah), Vijay Kumar (University of Pennsylvania), Gaurav Sukhatme (University of Southern California), and Henrik I. Christensen (Georgia Tech).
