At the time of publication of the article, Newt was only partially completed. A functional description of a complete Newt is given, including its three major subsystems: motive, manipulator and sensory subsystems. ~ile only the motive subsystem was operational at publication, descriptions and details of plans for sensory and manipulative components are ~iven. With the use of all of its subsystems, Newt will be able to scan, categorize, and alter its environment. The capability to periodically recharge its on-board power source by searching for AC outlets has also been provided for. Mr. Hollis describes the details of software and hardware for the motive subsystem and presents a few remarks on the subject of robot building, one of which voices the opinion that personal computing will play a major role in robot experimentation and development.
