Abstract
This is the final report for the most recent year of a program of research in the field of artificial intelligence. The focus of recent work has been the design, implementation and integration of a completely
new system for the control of a robot that plans, learns, and carries out tasks autonomously in a real laboratory environment. The report includes sections that describe the computer implementation of low-level and intermediate-level actions; routines for automated vision; and the planning, generalization, and execution mechanisms. Section II of the report contains a scenario that demonstrates the approximate capabiIities of the current version of the entire robot system.
