Richard P. Paul (S'60-SM'78-F'89) received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, in 1972.

He was associated in research and engineering with Stanford University from 1963 to 1974, where he developed the WAVE robot language and demonstrated the first use of programmable robots for assembly. In 1976, he joined the faculty of Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, where he was a Professor of Electrical Engineering and the Ransburg Professor of Robotics. He joined the University of Pennsylvania, Philadephia, in 1984 where he is currently a Professor of Computer and Information Science. He is the author of Robot Manipulators: Mathematics, Programming and Control (Cambridge, MA: MIT, 1981) and over 100 articles, conference presentations, films, and technical reports on robotics, kinematics, manipulation, and artificial intelligence. He has contributed to robot programming language development and consulted for most major U.S. robot manufacturers. He is currently interested in time-delayed teleoperation and the development of the teleprogramming system. He was one of the founding editors of the International Journal of Robotics Research. He served as a President of the IEEE Council on Robotics and Automation.
