Acknowledgments

Many organizations, offices, and people have contributed to the on-going MyroC project.

• The underlying hardware and some software for MyroC are based on research performed by the Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE), hosted at Georgia Tech and Bryn Mawr College. Their materials, including software interfaces, reference materials, and hardware, were funded by grants from Microsoft Research and the National Science Foundation.
  The main pages for this work are:

• The MyroC++ project grew out of efforts by Professor Bruce MacLennan's group, University of Tennessee; special thanks to John Hoare in that group for his assistance.

• The MyroC project was developed by Henry Walker and his groups at Grinnell College and funded from Grinnell's Dean's Office, Grinnell's HHMI Grant, and the Samuel R. and Marie-Louise Rosenthall Chair of Natural Science and Mathematics (held by Walker).
