This essay is an autobiographical essay about Dr. Bitetto and his various accomplishments and research.

Dr. Marco Bitetto is a legally blind Roboticist. He was born in a part of the state of New York called Brooklyn, in the year of 1965. As a multiply disabled child, Marco Bitetto was only able to receive three years of official schooling; since, his parents were unable to pay for his special educational needs and his case predated the passing of the federal and state laws that provided for the teaching of disabled children. Consequently, he was able to teach himself to read and write two languages. This was in addition to learning mathematics and science largely on his own. At the age of thirteen, Marco was admitted into a mainstream Catholic high school called Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School; where he successfully completed four years of education and managed to graduate at the top ten percent of his graduating class. After graduating from high school, he started undergraduate classes at the State University of New York from which he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Systems Engineering in 1991. During his educational time at the State University of New York, Marco was working at several different jobs. The first of these jobs was his working as a Radio/Audio Engineer for WNCN Radio Inc. This was latter followed with his working at Information Ink, Limited. At this latter job, he was employed to be a signal processing engineer. It was during this time period that Marco was able to do crucial research in the areas of fractal mathematics as it pertains to information processing, and computer animation. At which point, he published his research findings in the Long Island Computer Associations Stack magazine (circa 1990 and 1991). After which point, he bought and rebuilt an AT&T 3B2-700 from surplus and taught himself how to operate and program in the Unix V environment. During the time period of 1991 to 1992 he was teaching Unix Administration and programming to Wall Street based Novel Network Administrators via his employment at Electronic Directions, Inc.(a training school for computer professionals). This was while he was also teaching graduate level engineering courses at Metro Tech Center. In winter of 1992 Marco decided to go for his doctoral degree and was accepted in the Union Institute and University (Located in Cincinnati Ohio). During his studies at the Union Institute and University, he decided to do his research in computer and robot based architectures that facilitate learning by example. It was with the aid of a grant from National Semiconductor that Marco was able to successfully complete his research and file several patients. After which point, he was able to get his doctoral degree in 1994 and publish his dissertation through UMI. The name given to his dissertation was "NERVOTRON: A Silicon Analog to the Neuron". Since then, Dr. Bitetto has done pioneering research in the areas of chaos facilitated encryption and decryption systems, machine vision systems for real time processing of images on a multi-processor based robot, This is only to mention a few things that he has done to date.
