[ont.events] Funding for robotics applications

rapaport@sunybcs (William J. Rapaport) (03/02/88)

I have been contacted by a fellow in the construction industry who is
seeking to fund research in robotics applications for construction.

Two typical problems are:

	(1) developing a robot that can distribute and finish concrete masonry
	(2) developing a robot that can lay 8" masonry blocks.

The research would be a commercial undertaking, with no military
applications, to result in a product to be distributed primarily in the
southeastern US.

Inquiries may be directed to:

	Mr. John S. Sherman
	9801 Collins Ave.
	Bal Harbour, FL 33154

	(305) 866-4400
