It serves as one of histories earliest studies of flight, not to mention probably the first model airplane. ~ 322 B.C.

Alexander Stoytchev and his three graduate students recently presented one of their robot's long and shiny arms to a visitor. Here, they said, swing it around. And so the visitor tentatively gave the robot's left arm a few twists and twirls. The metal arm was heavy, but still moved easily at its shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. Then the graduate students hit some keyboard commands and the robot replayed those exact arm movements. It was all incredibly quick, smooth and precise. Stoytchev, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, says it won't be long before robot technology is something we'll all see and experience. "We'll have personal robots very soon," Stoytchev said. Star Wars There's a little R2-D2-shaped trash can near the door to Stoytchev's lab in the new Electrical and Computer Engineering Building.
