Devol has resided in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Wilton, Connecticut operating a robot consulting business.〔Feder, Barnaby J. ("He Brought Robot to Life" ), ''The New York Times'', March 21, 1982. Accessed August 14, 2011.〕 ==Biography== Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1912, Devol was interested from boyhood in all things electrical and mechanical such as boats, airplanes, and engines. He got some practical experience at Riordan Prep, where, in addition to studying traditional subjects, he helped construct some buildings and run the school's electric light plant. Although he wasn't very scholarly he read everything he could about mechanical devices, trying to discover what, besides building radios, could be done with vacuum tubes when applied as control devices.
