It makes simple assemblies such as a peg and rings and a toy car. It separates parts from a heap, recognising them with an overhead camera, then assembles them by feel. It can be instructed to perform a new task with different parts by spending an hour showing it the parts and a day or two programming the assembly manipulations. A hierarchical description of parts, views, outlines etc. is used to construct models, and a structure matching algorithm is used in recognition.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1973/39","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1973/0039.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1973/39.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1973/bibtex/39","volume":{"slug":"1973","title":"Proceedings of the Third International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1973","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1973/","year":1973,"location":"Stanford, California, USA","dates":"20-23 August 1973","editors":"Nils J.
