Dear Mr. Sharma:

\J
	Mr. Earnest has asked me to respond to your letter of
September 4 in which you asked about the manipulator you saw at
the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University.  
I am the designer and developer of this manipulator, and have formed
a company to manufacture and sell this device, as well as another one
I developed at M.I.T.  

	Enclosed  are   specification  sheets  on   our  manipulators
designed for computer control.  
	
	Present prices for these manipulators are:

	Model M.I.T. Arm- $8,700 -potentiometer version only
	Model Stanford Arm- $17,500- potentiometer version
	Model  Stanford  Arm-  $19,000-  encoder  option  on first  3
joints.

	These prices include a  six degree of freedom manipulator,  a
hand,  power  supply, power  amplifiers  and  other drive  and  sense
electronics,  plus a simple  manual controller.  Not  included is the
computer interface or the  software, but the latest  useful reference
information covering these areas  will be supplied 4 to 8 weeks prior
to scheduled delivery.


	Delivery is 26  weeks ARO.\.
