SRI's Artificial Intelligence Center (AIC) developed Shakey over a six-year period beginning in 1966. The first mobile robot to visually interpret its environment, Shakey can locate items, navigate around them, and reason about its actions. Named for its erratic and jerky style of movement, Shakey stands six feet tall and is equipped with a TV camera, a triangulating range finder, bumpers, and a wireless video system. Today, the robot resides in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.
