SRI Robot (SHakey)
1966 through to 1972, the Artificial Intelligence Centre at SRI international started a research on a mobile robot system called “shakey.” It had limited ability; to identify and model its environment, Shekey could perform tasks that required planning, route-finding, and the rearranging of simple objects. Shakey’s project led to many advances in AI techniques. 1969 the demonstration of Shekey was collected in a 24min film “SHAKEY: Experimentation in Robot Learning and Planning” -
PROLOG

Epert Systems
Epert Systems first appeared in the 1970's. They could predict the probability of a solutuion under certain conditions. MYCIN was a famous exoert system developed at Stanford University. Expert Systems are used in applications such as medical diagnosis, investment analysis, equipment repair and training. -
