This is a continuation of a project that started while Prof.               Arbib was at the University of Massachusetts, and is being conducted            in collaboration with Prof. K. Ramamritham there.  Substantial                  progress has been made on a distributed formal model of robot                   computations, operating system and scheduling support for realizing             that model, and control-theoretic approaches to task-level robot                control.  The work on the distributed model is centered at the                  University of Southern California, while the other topics are                   pursued mainly at the University of Massachusetts.  The work centers            on control of complex tasks involving grasping and manipulation with            a dexterous robot hand (the Salisbury hand).
