Keith Stegath
Keith Stegath received his first degree in 1978 and started a diverse career as a
licensed auto mechanic. In 1979 he became a machinist and CNC programmer then in 1980
entered the CAD/CAM/CAE industry. The hardware and software industry kept him challenged
for nearly fifteen years with experiences as a CAD designer, programmer, instructor, sales
support engineer, technical support engineer, and product developer. In 1993 he returned to
his roots as a mechanic and started a business restoring vintage automobiles. Seven years
later the love of technology beckoned him to merge his computer, mechanical, and electrical
experiences into a unified field: robotics. To fulfill his passion, in
2005 he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and a Masters Degree in 2007 from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of Florida.
