About the Author
James Trevelyan is an engineer, educator, researcher, and start-up entrepreneur. He invented Coolzy, a new energy-saving, low-emissions air conditioning technology for a global market. The world’s leading authority on engineering practices, he helped define Engineers Australia's professional competencies for chartered engineers. His books are influencing the future of engineering education worldwide. He is best known internationally for pioneering research on sheep shearing robots from 1975 to 1993 and for the first industrial robot that could be remotely operated through the internet in 1994, one of the earliest demonstrations of the "Internet of Things." He also made significant contributions to help with the removal of antipersonnel landmines and other unexploded ordnance in many countries. His research has shown how engineers could help eliminate widespread poverty in the Global South and accelerate progress toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
