Advice on the Fast-paced World of Electronics
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-05)
This paper is a reprint of a sketch of an electronic-circuit-designing program, submitted a a Ph.D. proposal. It describes the electronic design problem with respect to the classic trade-off between expertise and generality. ...
Kinematics of the MIT-AI-VICARM Manipulator
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-05)
This paper describes the basic geometry of the electric manipulator designed for the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Victor Scheinman while on leave from Stanford University. The procedure for finding a set of joint ...
Some Projects in Automatic Programming
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-04)
This paper proposes three research topics within the general framework of Automatic Programming. The projects are designing (1) a student programmer, (2) a robot programmer and (3) a physicist's helper. The purpose of these ...

This working paper describes the mini-robot group's X-Y table and associated hardware.
Velocity Space and the Geometry of Planetary Orbits
(1974-12-01)
We develop a theory of orbits for the inverse-square central force law which differs considerably from the usual deductive approach. In particular, we make no explicit use of calculus. By beginning with qualitative ...
