    • Assigning Hierarchical Descriptions to Visual Assemblies of Blocks with Occlusion 

      Dunlavey, Michael R. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-10)
      This memo describes a program for parsing simple two-dimensional piles of blocks into plausible nested subassemblies. Each subassembly must be one of a few types known to the program, such as stack, tower, or arch. Each ...

    • Application of Data Flow Computation to the Shaded Image Problem 

      Strat, Thomas M. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-05)
      This paper presents a method of producing shaded images of terrain at an extremely fast rate by exploiting parallelism. The architecture of the Data Flow Computer is explained along with an appropriate "program" to compute ...

    • What is Delaying the Manipulator Revolution? 

      Horn, Berthold K.P. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1978-02)
      Despite two decades of work on mechanical manipulators and their associated controls, we do not see wide-spread application of these devices to many of the tasks to which they seem so obviously suited. Somehow, a variety ...
