Shakey Images

By August 1967, Shakey was operational. You can see small differences between the August and November images. The attachment of the umbilical cord is different. In the November pictures, there were some additional fine wires or string around Shakey's head.

The undated pictures were apparently taken between November 1967 and November 1968. The umbilical cord had been modified since August 1967, but the radio connection was not yet installed. The drive motor housing had been changed to the same as in November 1968.

In 1983, Shakey was donated to the Computer History Museum (then in Boston). Some of the people that worked on Shakey gathered to say goodbye on August 18, 1983.
