Abstract :
We have described an experimental facility designed to study aspects of multimodal intelligent control and reported on some of the related research activities. The purpose of the two-fingered robotic manipulator developed by the authors is to provide a reliable, versatile control system that will be useful both as an instructional aid and as a research tool
