"You can argue that the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in use today are a modern form of cosmography as they combine geography and astronomy to give users precise locations, " said the doctor.
Federally funded university research has contributed critical knowledge that in turn led to the commercialization of the Internet and the development of products such as computerized imaging, global positioning systems, smartphones and tablet computers.
For example, researchers in Arizona are using real-time kinematic global positioning systems, an ultra-precise version of GPS that can measure positions with sub-inch accuracy levels, to control weeds in cotton fields with steel cultivators.
Just one year ago, the Bush administration announced it would keep the ground-based LORAN system operational to serve as a backup for the satellite-based global positioning systems, which are becoming ubiquitous in cars, planes and ships.
Engineers at the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (Grasp) Laboratory at Pennsylvania University have developed ways to make small quadrotor robots fly in formation, co-operate and map their surroundings without global positioning systems (GPS) .
The fact is the marketplace is littered with dozens of novelty watches, all of which tell time well, and which do such things as receive Global Positioning Systems signals, change the channel on TV sets, take pictures and store contact lists like a personal digital assistant.
Yet he reckons it is almost impossible to keep them secret and safe from vandals in an era of digital cameras, global-positioning systems and the internet.
