Abstract:

The report describes activities during the most recent year of a program of research in artificial intelligence. During the year a number of experiments were conducted with an existing system for the control of a robot that autonomously plans, learns, and carries out tasks in a real laboratory environment. Designs for a new robot system were also evolving. Of particular interest is a conceptual design for a novel perceptual subsystem, and some preliminary thoughts on the design for a novel perceptual subsystem, and some preliminary thoughts on the design of hierarchical problem solvers.
