Peter Hart
Peter Hart worked on pattern classification, computer vision, navigation, robot planning and an early expert system. Hart led Shakey during the last period of the project, which ran from 1966 to 1972. The robot could perceive its surroundings, plan actions, navigate and monitor plan execution. Shakey recovered from execution errors and communicated through simplified English. Hart worked on linking plans with real robot behavior under limited computing resources.
