Equipment for Artificial Intelligence Research

Abstract

Under the terms of National Science Foundation, Grant GK 36487, the Stanford Research Institute has been studying equipment needs for artificial intelligence research. We have identified in broad outline an equipment configuration that we feel will be highly flexible and useful for research. As a step toward making equipment of this type available to the artificial intelligence research community, SRI proposes a two-year program to design, fabricate, and test a prototype system consisting of the vehicle, arm, and vision system.
