Research will be conducted on the design of a distributed control               system for a robot.  The goal is to produce a high-level control                network which will allow a dextrous hand (the Salisbury hand) to be             used in a task-oriented manner, i.e., where actions of the hand are             specified in terms of their effects on objects.  Research on the                dextrous hand already conducted in this laboratory provides the context         in which distributed robot control will be explored.  Research issues           will be investigated involving both design of a logical distributed             model of computation specifically for the robotic domain, and design of         a dynamic mapping function to realize this model using a network of             processors.
