Proposal to the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(1976-05-01)
This is the substance of a proposal submitted in June, 1975, for research in the areas of large data bases and intelligent terminals, applications of machine vision and manipulation, basic studies in Artificial ...
The FRL Manual
(1977-09-01)
The Frame Representation Language (FRL) is described. FRL is an adjunct to LISP which implements several representation techniques suggested by Minsky's [75] concept of a frame: defaults, constraints, inheritance, procedural ...
Teaching of Procedures-Progress Report
(1972-10-01)
The idea of building a programmer is very seductive in that it holds the promise of massive bootstrapping and thus ties in with many ideas about learning and teaching. I will avoid going into those issues here. It is ...
Infants in Children Stories - Toward a Model of Natural Language Comprehension
(1972-08-01)
How can we construct a program that will understand stories that children would understand? By understand we mean the ability to answer questions about the story. We are interested here with understanding natural ...
The Little Robot System
(1973-01-01)
The Little Robot System provides for the I.T.S. user a medium size four degree of freedom six axis robot which is controlled by the PDP-6 computer through the programming language Lisp. The robot includes eight force ...
Why Conniving is Better than Planning
(1972-02-01)
A higher level language derives its great power form the fact that it tends to impose structure on the problem solving behavior for the user. Besides providing a library of useful subroutines with a uniform calling ...
Proposal to ARPA for Continuation of Micro-Automation Development
(1973-01-01)
This proposal discusses practical aspects of our project to produce a replicable research tool for development of real-world computer-controlled hand-eye systems. If this proposal is read out of context, it will not seem ...
How the GAS Program Works with a Note on Simulating Turtles with Touch Sensors
(1972-12-01)
The GAS program is a display simulation of a 2 dimensional ideal gas. Barriers, or walls, are line segments, and molecules, alias particles or balls, are circles. Collisions occur between balls and other balls as well ...
Manipulator Design Vignettes
(1972-10-01)
This memo is about mechanical arms. The literature on robotics seems to be deficient in such discussions, perhaps because not enough sharp theoretical problems have been formulated to attract interest. I'm sure many ...
The Making of the Film, SOLAR CORONA
(1973-02-01)
The film SOLAR CORONA was made from data taken from August 14, 1969 through May 7, 1970, by OSO-VI, one of the Orbiting Satellite Observatories. One of the experiments on board scanned across and up and down the image of ...
