Our
recent publication on a study of natural movement of artificial eye
implant in Robotics
and Autonomous Systems, Vol. 32 (2-3) (2000) pp. 153-161
is receiving extensive attentions from the research communities and the
media. It was reported in the July 29th issue of the New
Scientist Magazine and the U
of A Express News. It was featured on the front page of the Aug. 9th's
the
Globe and Mail, and on Aug. 9th evening TV news programs of CBC

report on the study was cited by world wide newspapers and media. We thank you for your
interests, encouragement, and support. We welcome inquiries about graduate study
opportunities with us on this and other research projects.
