Abstract	This report presents the results of research conducted to determine the current state of the art of robotics/automated systems technician (RAST) training offered in the United States. Section I discusses the RAST curriculum project, of which this state-of-the-art review is a part, and offers a RAST job description. Section II describes the information sources for the project survey--public and private institutions providing technician training--and the types of information sought. The presentation of data is addressed in section III. A table provides a state-by-state listing that identifies the number of schools offering RAST training. Section IV presents a summary of the results of the survey which indicates that: 56 institutions currently provide RAST training programs; 114 schools offer robotics courses as electives; currently, 159 instructors teach robotics and 5,472 students are studying to become robotics technicians in the two-year associate degree and certificate programs; 33 texts are currently being used in training robotics technicians; and 27 other competency-based modular texts applicable to portions of RAST training are available. Appendixes, amounting to approximately four-fifths of the report, include raw survey data, a bibliography, and a chart of colleges and universities offering robotics training. (YLB)
