1970-Shakey the robot reasons about its
blocks
Built at Stanford Research Institute, Shakey was
remote controlled by a large computer. It hosted a clever reasoning
program fed very selective spatial data, derived from weak edge-based
processing of camera and laser range measurements. On a very good
day it could formulate and execute, over a period of hours, plans
involving moving from place to place and pushing blocks to achieve a
goal.
