06300	Breaking arm control into servo and planning elements,
06400	and by precomputing trajectories, it is possible to have
06500	intelligent choice of trajectories and still have a small
06600	system which runs on a minicomputer-the mini and maxi systems.

06900	The project has progressed from building the lowest level hardware
07000	and software interfaces to the current stage of modest achievements with
07100	curved objects [] and outdoor scenes [], and to sophisticate manipulation
07200	and demonstration of capability in automated assembly [].  The group
07300	has now focussed a major effort on robotics in industrial automation.  That
07400	focus is particularly valuable in uniting work on strategies for assembly,
07500	perceptual strategies, representation of shape and modelling of objects,
07600	visual feedback and manipulation.  ***We are now working on a sequece
07700	of sharply defined assembly tasks, and on construction of a system which
07800	not only incorporates these abilities, but requires them to work together].
07900	Past work has required considerable building of systems.   For example,
08000	the achievement of one year in manipulation research followed three years
08100	of design, construction and programming adequate basic arm hardware and
08200	software; even that effort depended in part upon previous development
08300	work, and dissatisfaction with previous dead-ends.
