Curriculum Vitae EG 4203, (949) 824-6893, jmmccart@uci.edu Kinematic Analysis and Synthesis of Constrained Robotic Systems We are developing Java software with OpenGL graphics for the design and anylsis of constrained robotic systems. These systems consist of a workpiece, or end-effector, that is supported by one or more articulated serial chains, each of which imposes a constraint on its movement. The constraints provide structural support in certain directions while allowing freedom of movement in others.

Course Descriptions The descriptions and web pages for my courses in linkage design, robotics and theoretical kinematics. You will find a downloadable version of our linkage design software SphinxPC. Speech for UCI's Honors Convocation, June 18, 1999 I was honored to be the faculty speaker at the 22nd UCI Honor's Convocation. Apparently this is the first time a faculty member from the School of Engineering has given this address. There were over 100 faculty and over 2000 students and parents in attendance.
