Jonathan M. Cameron received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1979 and his M.S. in Engineering Science and Mechanics in 1980, both at Georgia Institute of Technology. In 1981, he was employed by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, where he was involved in spacecraft and ground vehicle control research including path planning for robotic vehicles. In 1988, he left JPL on an educational leave of absence to pursue a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology under the direction of Professor Wayne J. Book. He completed his Ph.D in December, 1993. From then until 1995, he was employed by the College of Computing at Georgia Tech to work as a research scientist investigating multiagent robotics. In July of 1995, he returned to JPL and is now a member of the Robotics Systems Section where he is working on several advanced space exploration concepts. His research interests include robotics, dynamics, kinematics, and software development.
