Mike Brady Research SymposiumSeptember 16, 2010
The Year(s) of the Robot
John HollerbachUniversity of Utah
The MIT Years: Highlights
• Year of the Robot• Books in robotics• ISRR• IJRR
Robotics in the 1970sRobotics was not generally considered a
separate, respectable scientific endeavor.• Heavy orientation towards industrial
robotics.• Limitations in envisaged and realized robot
capabilities.• No research journal dedicated to robotics.• No high-level international research
conference in robotics.
Year of the Robot (1981-82)
Accelerate the field of robotics via:• Source book on manipulation• Start a journal• Start an annual or biannual conference• Bring in outside experts for extended stays• Outline an educational program• Build a robot hand
A source book with sections:• Dynamics• Trajectory planning• Compliance and force control• Feedback control• Spatial planningEach section had a substantial introduction that served as a tutorial.Papers by 19 top authors were retyped into a common format.Published in 1982• Translated into Japanese
Utah/MIT Dextrous Hand
• Collaboration with Steve Jacobsen (Utah)• Begun in 1981, completed in 1987• 12 copies were made• Pneumatic, tendon-driven actuation
Updated source book in robotics• Published in 1989• 16 commissioned papers by leading experts• Last funding from SDF
1981: Representative Problems in Robotics
• Recognizing objects in the real world.• Grasping arbitrary objects.• Two-armed, cooperative manipulation.• Learning from experience.
2010: DARPA BAA on Mobile Manipulation
• Recognizing objects in the real world.• Grasping arbitrary objects.• Two-armed, cooperative manipulation.• Learning from experience.
Visitors and Workshops
Renowned visitors spent from weeks to months at the MIT AI Lab.
• Harry Asada, Rod Brooks, Roy Featherstone, John Luh, Ken Salisbury, Russ Taylor
Workshop on Dextrous Robot Hands.• Asada, Flateau, Harmon, Hillis, Hogan, Jacobsen,
Purbrick, Raibert, Roth, Ruoff, Salisbury
