Abstract

Robots are a type of machine that we expect to solve tasks that are in many respects similar to those that confront animals and human beings. We want them to be able to perceive their environment through sensors that may include vision and touch, they should be able to move and to avoid collisions with obstacles, they should have manipulators that allow them to grasp and manipulate work pieces and, ideally, they should be able to cooperate with humans in a manner that is convenient — at least for us.
