Technology, robotics, circa 1985
Description
This image shows a student working on a robotic arm in a laboratory at Appalachian State University (1967-current). The student is possibly working in the Department of Industrial Arts and Technical Education, now the Department of Technology, which included courses in machinery, circuitry, and electronics. The student is holding a RHINC remote control to control the arm, which is holding the end of a ballpoint pen. A computer terminal is visible in the background.

This image presently has a chemistry tag, but it shows a student in the physics lab. In fact I taught the course that the student was shown operating the robotic arm.
The description of the image should be:
The image shows a student operating a RHINO robotic arm in the Analog Electronics laboratory in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The robotic arm is programmed with the teach pendent which the student is holding in his arm. After programming the arm will execute the process of writing with the pen.
