More information[edit]

I found much more detailed information about the robot and its architecture here: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vaughan/teaching/889/papers/shakey.pdf

unfortunately the act of finding this report already arose from procrastination and I really should go on with my "real" work now... please feel free to extend the article yourself, i don't have the time... 85.179.107.230 (talk) 20:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hough transform[edit]

Article claims this was "a result of the project", but Hough transform source it to 1959, long before the project begun, and never mentions shakey at all. I believe this is a misstatement. קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 02:09, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hough transform references the Shakey team obliquely like so: "The classical Hough transform was concerned with the identification of lines in the image, but later the Hough transform has been extended to identifying positions of arbitrary shapes, most commonly circles or ellipses. The Hough transform as it is universally used today was invented by Richard Duda and Peter Hart in 1972" (Richard Duda and Peter Hart were two of the Shakey researchers at SRI). So the underlying claim seems to be that the Shakey project resulted in refinement of, extension of or further development of the Hough transform rather than creation of it. Which should be checked; if it's the case there's probably a better way to say it. --Blogjack (talk) 18:46, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
