Shakey the Robot

Shakey the Robot

Shakey the Robot was the first mobile robot to be able to reason about its own actions. Shakey combined research in robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing.

Shakey was developed at the Artificial Intelligence laboratory of SRI International in 1966 through 1972 with Charles Rosen (scientist) as project manager. Other major contributors included Nils Nilsson, Alfred Brain, Bertram Raphael, Richard Duda, Peter Hart, Richard Fikes, Richard Waldinger, Thomas Garvey, Jay Tenenbaum, and Michael Wilber. Programming was primarily in LISP.

Retired from active duty, Shakey now spends his days in a glass display case at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

ample tasks

An operator types the command "push the block off the platform" at a computer console.

Shakey looks around, identifies a platform with a block on it, and locates a ramp. Shakey pushes the ramp over to the platform, rolls up the ramp onto the platform, pushes the block off the platform.
