de Kleer, J. A view on qualitative physics. Artificial Intelligence. 1993 February; 59 (1-2): 105-114.
The paper “A qualitative physics based on confluences” by John Seely Brown and myself was one of the first papers in what is today a large and active area of artificial intelligence. I will focus on some of the events and experiences which motivated me to become interested in qualitative physics and where it should be going.
Intuitive’s da Vinci 5 system represents a major leap in robotic-assisted medicine. It all started at SRI, which continues to advance teleoperation technologies.
SRI-managed QED-C’s annual report on quantum trends captures an industry accelerating rapidly from technical promise toward major global impact.
By synthesizing carbon-absorbing aerogels in microgravity, SRI research will give us a rare glimpse into how these materials could be radically improved.
