Abstract
A major review of research in artificial intelligence (Feigenbaum, 1968) recently stated that “The intensive effort being invested on the development of computer-controlled hand-eye and eye-cart devices is … the most unexpected occurrence in A.I. research in the 1963-68 period.” This paper takes the contrary view, which is that interest in the development of such robot-like devices is both a natural consequence of past developments, and a necessary stimulant to future research in the evolution of artificial intelligence and non-numerical problem solving.
