He used photoelectric cells to seek light while avoiding both strong like and darkness. ]]> 2022-11-21 14:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392717228 29smithe https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392726353 Squee uses two light sensors and two contact switches to hunt for "nuts" ( Squee was actually looking for tennis balls representing nuts) and drag them to its nest. Squee was described as "75% reliable," but it worked well only in a very dark room. Maybe it has stage fright! ]]> 2022-11-21 14:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392726353 29smithe https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392735283 Victor Scheinman's Stanford Arm robot makes a breakthrough as the first successful electrically powered, computer controlled robot arm. By 1974, the Stanford Arm could assemble a Ford Model T water pump, guiding itself with optical and contact sensors. ]]> 2022-11-21 14:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392735283 29smithe https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392742645 SRI's Shakey the robot was the first mobile robot controlled by artificial intelligence. It was equipped with sensing devices and driven by a problem-solving program called STRIPS, the robot found its way around the halls of SRI by applying its information about its environment to a route. ]]> 2022-11-21 15:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392742645 29smithe https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392747890 Nolan Bushnell founded Androbot with former Atari engineers to make the "Friendly Robotic Educational Device." ]]> 2022-11-21 15:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/29smithe/tl1k35bgv386ky7t/wish/2392747890
