Manipulator Grasping and Pushing Operations
(1982-06-01)
The primary goal of this research is to develop theoretical tools for analysis, synthesis, application of primitive manipulator operations. The primary method is to extend and apply traditional tools of classical mechanics. ...
Syntax-Based Analytic Reading of Musical Scores
(1967-04-01)
As part of a larger research project in musical structure, a program has been written which "reads" scores encoded in an input language isomorphic to music notation. The program is believed to be the first of its kind. ...
Computer System for Visual Recognition Using Active Knowledge
(1976-06-01)
A system for visual recognition is described, with implications for the general problem of representation of knowledge to assist control. The immediate objective is a computer system that will recognize objects in a ...
Computer Recognition of Three-Dimensional Objects in a Visual Scene
(1968-12-01)
Methods are presented (1) to partition or decompose a visual scene into the bodies forming it; (2) to position these bodies in three-dimensional space, by combining two scenes that make a stereoscopic pair; (3) to ...
Hierarchical Shape Description of Objects by Selection and Modification of Prototypes
(1975-11-01)
An approach towards shape description, based on prototype modification and generalized cylinders, has been developed and applied to the object domains pottery and polyhedra: (1) A program describes and identifies pottery ...
Reasoning from Incomplete Knowledge in a Procedural Deduction System
(1975-12-01)
One very useful idea in AI research has been the notion of an explicit model of a problem situation. Procedural deduction languages, such as PLANNER, have been valuable tools for building these models. But PLANNER and its ...
A Computational Model of Skill Acquisition
(1973-08-01)
This thesis confronts the nature of the process of learning an intellectual skill, the ability to solve problems efficiently in a particular domain of discourse. The investigation is synthetic; a computational performance ...
Symbolic Integration
(1967-09-01)
SIN and SOLDIER are heuristic programs in LISP which solve symbolic integration problems. SIN (Symbolic INtegrator) solves indefinite integration problems at the difficulty approaching those in the larger integral ...
CARPS: A Program which Solves Calculus Word Problems
(1968-07-01)
A program was written to solve calculus word problems. The program, CARPS (CALculus Rate Problem Solver), is restricted to rate problems. The overall plan of the program is similar to Bobrow's STUDENT, the primary ...
New Progress in Artificial Intelligence
(1974-09-01)
This report concentrates on progress during the last two years at the M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Topics covered include the representation of knowledge, understanding English, learning and debugging, ...
