SCS HISTORY BOOK
SCS History Book: Robotics Reviews
""What [robotics] will become -- what effects it will have,
both witting and unwitting -- are for the future to tell. What we all
have now is a sense of adventure and anticipation....it is easy to see the
science lurking in robotics. It lies in the welding of intelligence to
energy. That is, it lies in intelligent perception and intelligent control
of motion. These are to robotics what heat was to the era of Count Rumford
and Nicolas Carnot. If we are ever to have devices that operate under
their own control to perform tasks that demand large energetic
transformations -- whether these be machining, transporting,
exploring, mining, constructing, whatever -- they
must sense a changing natural environment and control transformations that
operate with their own physics in real time..."
--Allen Newell at the Dedication of the Robotics Institute, 1980
