Mini-Robot Group User's Guide Part 1: The 11/45 System
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-06)
This USER'S GUIDE is in two parts. Part 1 describes the facilities of the mini-robot group 11/45 and the software available to persons using those facilities. It is intended for those writing their own programs to be run ...
Using Message Passing Instead of the GOTO Construct
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-04)
This paper advocates a programming methodology using message passing. Efficient programs are derived for fast exponentiation, merging ordered sequences, and path existence determination in a directed graph. The problems ...
The Position of the Sun
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-03)
The appearance of a surface depends dramatically on how it is illuminated. In order to interpret properly satellite and aerial imagery, it is necessary to know the position of the sun in the sky. This is particularly ...
What is Delaying the Manipulator Revolution?
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-02)
Despite two decades of work on mechanical manipulators and their associated controls, we do not see wide-spread application of these devices to many of the tasks to which they seem so obviously suited. Somehow, a variety ...
Application of Data Flow Computation to the Shaded Image Problem
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-05)
This paper presents a method of producing shaded images of terrain at an extremely fast rate by exploiting parallelism. The architecture of the Data Flow Computer is explained along with an appropriate "program" to compute ...
