New Weizmann
"Seeing" Robots

I

sraeli computer scientists
hope to use a novel
approach developed at
the Weizmann Institute
to create "smart" robots that
can find their way around
by recognizing familiar
objects in their surround-
ings.
The scientists have suc-
cessfully tested the design
of such "seeing machines on
computer models and now
plan to try it in actual
robots.
In some existing systems,
robots have a limited ability
to identify objects — for
example, by sending out a
sonar beam. In contrast, the
more sophisticated robots
designed with the new
method would be able to
navigate more intelligently
using visual information
they receive from the envi-
ronment.
"This development may
bring us closer to creating
machines with human-like
intelligence, which is the
ultimate goal of the field of
artificial intelligence," said
Dr. Ronen Basri of the
Weizmann Institute's
Department of Applied
Mathematics and Computer
Science. He designed the
new model of robotic vision
together with Dr. Ehud
Rivlin, who was at the

Dr. Ronen Basri

University of Maryland
when the research was con-
ducted and is not at the
Technion-Israel Institute of
Technology.
One of the major difficul-
ties in endowing robots with
"vision" is teaching them to
recognize three-dimensional
objects, which look different
from various viewing
angles. Storing vast num-
bers of different views of an
object in a robot's memory
and teaching it to recognize
them would require cumber-
some database storage
devices. U

Ask For Work
To Get A Raise

L

ooking for a sure-fire
way to get that coveted
raise or promotion? Ask
for more work, advise
82 percent of top managers
in a new nationwide survey.
The survey was developed
by OfficerTeam, a national
staffing service specializing
in highly-skilled temporary
office and administrative
professionals. It was con-
ducted by an independent
research firm, which polled
150 human resource and
other executives from the
nation's 1,000 largest com-
panies.
"By asking for more
responsibility and an
increased workload, employ-
ees demonstrate that
they're self-motivated and

enthusiastic about their
jobs," said Andrew Denka,
executive of OfficeTeam.
"Managers recognize and
reward employees who dis-
play that kind of initiative
and personal investment in
their companies."
One way to show initia-
tive, Mr. Denka siad, is to
take and extra step when
doing a task, as in the case
of an administrative assis-
tant who volunteers to set
up a new, computerized
database when asked to
reorganize existing files.
He added that requests
for more work suggest that
an employee can manage
his or her schedule efficient-
ly, achieving more in the
same amount of time.
