Working out where a robot should go next
Nilsson worked on planning for Shakey and helped develop a way to search for routes with colleagues Peter Hart and Bert Raphael. Read him alongside Rosen for a closer look at one part of the same project. Knowing where something is gives a mobile robot a problem to solve, and a planner has to turn that information into a route.
