โฆ Synopsis
The array of microcomputers that controls an experimental robot has made it possible to implement a sophisticated sensing system that is used for a wide variety of purposes.
The aim of the paper is to show how comparatively simple and inexpensive sensors, in cooperation with the great computing power of the microcomputers array and with a suitable programming language, may be used for jobs that are well beyond their normal operating capabilities. Included is an explanation of how complex sensors (such as vision systems) may be connected to the system in a simple and straightforward way.

An experimental robot cell is being used to investigate the enabling technology for a masonry tasking robot. A CAD/CAM facility has been devised by which wall designs are translated into the robot's "theoretical task". However, this cannot be directly implemented without real-time adjustments derive

This paper reports on experiments in which a physical autonomous robot is taught a basic vocabulary concerning objects in its close environment. Teaching is provided in one case by a second teacher robot and in another case by a human teacher. An imitative strategy, namely mutual following, is used
