Robert Williams
Robert L. Williams II is professor and assistant chair of mechanical engineering at Ohio University, focusing on robotics, biomechanics and haptics research and education. Previously he worked for 5 years at NASA Langley Research Center as a space roboticist. He earned the Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Virginia Tech. Williams has published 47 refereed journal articles and 136 conference papers (mostly refereed) in dynamics, control, robotics, biomechanics and haptics. He is a reviewer for many international conferences and journals including for the ASME and IEEE. He has attracted externally-funded projects totaling over $4M. During his time at Ohio University, he has worked two summers each at NASA Kennedy Space Center and Wright-Patterson AFB. During his 2002-2003 sabbatical he worked for the NIST Intelligent Systems Division in Gaithersburg, MD. During his 2014 sabbatical he researched and taught in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez. Dr. Williams is the ASME advisor for the Ohio University student chapter, he has taught summer robotics programs to middle school students, was the MathCounts coach for Athens Middle School, and was the TEAMS JETS coach for Athens High School. He served as lead guitarist in a praise band for a local church.
