Research and Applications - Artificial Intelligence

by Raphael, B.

Technical Report
Institution: Stanford Research Institute
November 1970.

Note: Project 8259 Final Report
From the Nilsson archives – SHAKEY papers

   Abstract

This is the final report for the most recent year of a continuing program of research in the field of artificial intelligence. This work follows previous projects that resulted in the design, construction, and demonstration of a “first generation” robot system. The work reported here consists of new research aimed at the development of a more sophisticated “second generation” robot. Although the robot vehicle itself will be essentially unchanged, it will be controlled by a completely new computer hardware and software system. In particular, this report contains detailed descriptions of the computer configuration and the bottom-level software design, two new bases for problem-solving systems (called STRIPS and QA4) , and new directions in visual scene-analysis techniques.
