SCOPE: The field of robotics
encompasses the development and application of
intelligent machines. The term “robot” may be defined as
a machine that provides an intelligent connection
between perception and action. (Rojas, Encyclopedia of
Computers and Computer History) The purpose of this
pathfinder is to serve as a guideline for student
research. It is not intended as a comprehensive listing
of all the materials available in the library on this
topic, but as a selective sampling of the many types of
sources available.
