1. Shakey: The World's First Mobile Intelligent Robot Marker
Stanford Research Institute's Artificial Intelligence Center developed the world's first mobile intelligent robot, Shakey. It could perceive its surroundings, infer implicit facts from explicit ones, create plans, recover from errors in plan execution, and communicate using ordinary English. Shakey's software architecture, computer vision, and methods for navigation and planning proved seminal in robotics and in the design of web servers, automobiles, factories, video games, and Mars rovers.Erected 2017 by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
