Mandell, Alan – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1985
Presents the listing for a TRS-80 Model III program which illustrates the first law of robotics (all robots must be programed so that none of their actions will be harmful to man). Also discusses the rational for and development of the program. (JN)
Descriptors: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Simulation, Computer Software, Higher Education

Albus, James S. – Futurist, 1984
Spectacular advances in microcomputers are forging new technological frontiers in robotics. For example, many factories will be totally automated. Economic implications of the new technology of robotics for the future are examined. (RM)
Descriptors: Automation, Economic Factors, Economics, Employment Problems
Slesnick, Twila – Classroom Computer Learning, 1984
Describes how three different levels of students interacted with three different commercially available robots. Considers the educational value of these devices and provides a list of seven robots (indicating their source, computer compatibility, language, current cost, capabilities, and options). (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science, Elementary Secondary Education, Instructional Innovation
Long, Sandra M.; Long, Winston H. – World Future Society Bulletin, 1984
The implications for society of greater use of robots in home and factory are still unclear. Students must be taught how to understand and utilize these intelligent machines. (Author/RM)
