Dear Mr. Yaroshuk:

\J

	Per your request I am enclosing a recent report issued by the
Stanford University Artificial Intelligence 
Laboratory, with which I am connected.  This report details some 
work using the Stanford Arm for automated assembly tasks.  This arm is 
the same type as Stanford Research Institute now has, and is available
thru VICARM, as the model "Stanford" arm.   I should add that I am 
still on the staff of Stanford  University, and  VICARM is a company I have
formed  for the purpose of manufacturing some of the manipulators I 
developed in connection with both Stanford University and the Mass. Inst.
of Technology.  Thus the model numbers credit the place of the original
design.

	There is a 16 mm color movie
titled "Pump Assembly",
covering the whole pump assembly project.
You can request a loan copy by writing to the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory; Stanford, Calif. 94305.   As there is a waiting list, you may have
to wait a few weeks.  Another movie showing our (Stanford's) more recent work
in chain saw motor assembly, and two arm coordinated tasks will be issued in
a couple of months.  In your request letter, you may ask to get on that movie's
mailing list.

	I  hope this information will suffice.  Feel free to call or write should
you have any furthur questions.\.
