[Two Irish Men in Robotics]

The following two Irish Men made significant contributions of foundamental theory of mechanisms and robotics. Here, I am paying tribute to them.

1) Sir William Rowan Hamilton PRIA FRSE (4 August 1805 – 2 September 1865) was an Irish mathematician, astronomer, and mathematical physicist, who made important contributions to classical mechanics, optics, and algebra (quaternion).

2) Sir Robert Stawell Ball FRS (1 July 1840 – 25 November 1913) was an Irish astronomer[1] who founded the screw theory.
