In addition
to the creation of an interdisciplinary course, EID111 Design Illusion
and Reality, Robotics and Theater, there were other significant
outcomes from Gateway support.
For the first time in Cooper Union history, the Engineering
School participated in the 2002 End-of-Year
Student Exhibition at Cooper Union. The Department of Mechanical
Engineering presented a telerobotic installation by graduate students
Marcin Balicki and James Cruickshanks.
Faculty applied for a National Science Foundation
(National Science Foundation Award Abstract)
award and was granted an Award (Grant No.DUE 9980873). That award
and support from the Gateway Engineering Education Coalition, enabled
the construction of a permanent telerobotic space at Cooper Union
to be used as both a robotics and telerobotics lab. Equipment was
purchased (NSF Major Equipment
Purchase), a lab was constructed (Lab
Layout and Lab Reconstruction),
to create The Robotic Renaissance Theater at The Cooper Union, a
permanent telerobotic virtual and physical performance space at
Cooper Union.
Faculty member and artist Adrianne Wortzel was commissioned
by The Whitney Museum of American Art to create a telerobotic installation
( Camouflage Town) for the exhibition
DATA DYNAMICS at the Whitney from March 10-June 22, 2001, This project
was developed at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science
and Art with a grant from the National Science Foundation grant
(Grant No.DUE 9980873) and support from the Gateway Engineering
Education Coalition.
