tbewley/README.md
  • 👋 Hi, I’m @tbewley, aka Thomas Bewley. I am a professor at UC San Diego, and the founder of Renaissance Robotics. More details on me are, including links to my published papers, and a record of my education and visiting appointments (most recently at USAFA and JPL), are in my CV.
  • I have four textbooks in my long term plan (focusing now mostly on SR, RR will hopefully be finished shortly thereafter. I will dive back into NR, and restart work on RP, in due course...):
  • 📖 Structural Renaissance: a modern first course in engineering analysis and design (SR),
  • 📖 Renaissance Robotics: embedding multithreaded real-time feedback into mobile robots and cyber-physical systems (RR),
  • 📖 Numerical Renaissance: simulation, optimization, and control (NR)
  • 📖 Renaissance Packings: n-dimensional discretization for error correction, coordination, and search (RP)
  • SR is a college freshmen-level text on Structures, which sets the stage for the rest of the series (including emphasizing a modern approach to Think Different, focusing on developing knowledge & understanding, and on the automation of repetitive tasks, NOT on data & information, nor on the training of short-term muscle memory to recall facts, or to perform computations by hand that should rightly be done on a computer). RR is an upper-level undergraduate study developing a rigorous framework for analysis-based design of unmanned system; NR and RP are graduate-level treatises on numerical methods and lattice theory and their numerous applications.
  • I am using the consolidated Renaissance Repository (RR) on Github to distribute all of the codes I develop associated with these four major projects, which are tightly coupled and cross referenced.
  • I have also posted here a codebase for the simulation of tensegrity systems, dubbed TenSim.
  • 📫 For bug reports related to the codes, I prefer normal github style pull requests. Please reach out to me at [email protected] with book typos/suggestions, broken links, and other questions/suggestions.
  • Parting thoughts:
           Data is not information.
           Information is not knowledge.
           Knowledge is not understanding.
           Understanding is not wisdom.
