What he wanted was:
  What is the state of the art
  What are projections: near-term and far-term

		Overview
I'll show a map of the hand/eye project and how it fits together.
I'll also make a case for support of vision and manipulation.

		OBJECTIVES
Programming  systems for  manipulation and  vision  to enable  simple
programming by staff (not computer scientists).     Evaluation of DoD
applications.
VISUAL  CONTROL  OF  CART: 10 sec  between  shots  (stopped)  5  feet
intervals over a roadway, with avoidance of collisions, by Jan 1976. 
VISUAL CONTROL  OF  MANIPULATION: To provide a  system  which can  be
easily  programmed to determine  positioning error for  real parts in
realistic situations.   Parts may  be curved, shiny,  dirty, with  no
special preparation.   and with relatively good 2d  maps.  To execute
in about 1 second.  To be completed by December 1976. 
MANIPULATION AND VISION LANGUAGES: To design and build  a programming
system, sensors,  control  algorithms and  Very  High  Level Language
system for  programming  manipulation tasks,  by December  1976.   To
design and build a Vision Language  to program a wide class of vision
tasks.   To  be  applied to  visual control  of manipulation.  To  be
completed by December 1976.
