Hey Josh, I while back ago I was reading a lot of info about the history of robotics and such. I tend to just cram tons of info into my head so I can't sight the source and I can't find the article/page again for the life of me.
Any way there was a mention of another Starne and I instantly thought of you. I was wondering if you were any relation?
Where did you see it mentioned and I will check?
My realword name is Josh Starnes
I can't remember where I read it.
It was one of the first humanoid robots in the 80's I think and this guy was either in college or a collage professor. I'll give another few google attempts and get back with you.
Yeah I can't find it again. I think it was on NASA's site that linked to it and that site appears to be republican.
There was a Paul and Ryan Starnes that the local college has been named after but I'm not familiar with why that was or if they were into technology. Maybe I will go look one day
Cool. All I remember was seeing the last name, it was in the 80s or 90s and he was one of the two main guys that built a robot about 6-7 feet tall, I'm guessing. It was humanoid-ish. I want to say the bots name was Melvin or Marvin or some "M" name but I could be mistaken on the name part. It was probably 6 months ago that I saw it. I just didn't want to ask then. We've had a few posts between us now and I've read enough to pretty much figure what kind of guy you are so I decided to ask. I thought you might be his son or nephew or something like that. Oh well, thanks anyway.
Here is a Roger Starnes
