WHY ROBOTICS?

A.M. ANDREW

Workers in Artificial Intelligence are developing advanced methods of control of robot devices, far removed from anything currently finding practical application in industry. A…

ROBOTICS, THE LAST DECADE AND THE NEXT DECADE

J.F. ENGELBERGER

This paper is largely a gauntlet thrown before more likely contributors to Kybernetes. An effort is made first to summarize what is commercially available in an industrial robot…

SOME PROBLEMS OF AUTOMATA CONSTRUCTION (A VIEWPOINT)

J.F. SCHUH‐MORENO

The functioning of computers is based on mathematical logic. Hence any substantial progress in computer construction must come from a brilliant idea in logic. This probably…

A CHOREOGRAPHIC ROBOT VISION MODEL

LEO C. DRISCOLL

A prerequisite for automatic assembly by “factory‐intelligent” robots in the 1980s is the development of machine hand‐eye coordination systems. This paper presents a formal…

AUTOMATA FOR AGRICULTURE—A DRIVERLESS TRACTOR SYSTEM

D.W.I. BROOKE

Agriculture is compared with other industries and the role of automata is discussed. The present requirements are for instrumentation and other operator aids to improve the…

ON TRACKING BEHAVIORS OF THE HUMAN OPERATOR IN PREVIEW CONTROL SYSTEMS

K. ITO, M. ITO

This paper considers the experimental results for tracking behaviors of human operators in preview control systems and, on the basis of the experimental results, proposes a model…

ACTION‐ORIENTED LEARNING NETWORKS

I. ALEKSANDER

This paper describes the use of the MINERVA adaptive computing system in an investigation of feedback in learning networks. The feedback is such as to provide, at the input of the…
