Spong\, Dean\, Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science\, The University of Texas at Dallas\n \nDr. Mark W. Spong is currently the Dean of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. Dr. Spong received his D.Sc. degree in systems science and mathematics in 1981 from Washington University in St. Louis. He has held faculty positions at Lehigh University (1981-82)\, Cornell University (1982-84)\, and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1984-2008). \nAt UTD\, Dr. Spong holds both the Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair and the Excellence in Education Chair. Dr. Spong’s main research interests are in robotics\, mechatronics\, and nonlinear control theory. His notable awards include the 2016 Nyquist Prize from the ASME Dynamics and Control Division\, the 2011 Pioneer Award from the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society\, the first IROS Fumio Harashima Award for Innovative Technologies in 2007\, the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award\, the Senior Scientist Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation\, the Distinguished Member Award from the IEEE Control Systems Society\, the John R. Ragazzini and O. Hugo Schuck Awards from the American Automatic Control Council\, and the IEEE Third Millennium Medal. Dr. Spong is Past President of the IEEE Control Systems Society and a Fellow of both the IEEE and IFAC. \nDr. Spong\’s work has been instrumental in establishing the theoretical foundations of robot control\, and the results he has produced over the past three decades have been implemented in systems at companies and research development facilities around the world\, including Sandia National Labs in New Mexico and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. He has produced innovative solutions in robotics that have stood the test of time to become now-classic results in robotic control. \nHis work also led to the first practical solution of the problem of time-delay compensation in bilateral teleoperation\, which was a major impediment to the development of undersea and space robots\, and he was the first to show how poor performance in robot arms due to uncertainties and joint elasticity could be overcome with advanced nonlinear feedback control methods that he helped to develop. \nDr. Spong has also had a major impact on robotics education. He co-authored one of the most popular textbooks on robot dynamics and control\, which is still in use after more than 20 years. In addition\, he developed both hardware and software\, marketed by a company he founded (Mechatronic Systems Inc.)\, which are being used by more than 200 universities around the world. \nCentennial Keynote Speaker\nFaa-Ching Wang\, PhD\, Founder\, CIE/USA-DFW Chairman & President\, ConsulPath Inc.
