The Edinburgh Designer System as a framework for robotics: the design of behavior
R. J. Popplestone · Artificial intelligence for engineering design analysis and manufacturing · 1987
I discuss how the capabilities of the Edinburgh Designer System can be extended and used to support symbolic computation for robotics. I conclude that the Algebra Engine requires to handle temporal constructs, groups and tolerances, that the taxonomy can support activity modules and that automatic plan formation would require the creation of a specialist.
