Machines That Walk
Locomotion on legs resists imitation, but modern control technology should be able to solve the problem. Experiments with machines that hop and crawl can also illuminate the mechanisms of natural walking

Microelectronics and Computer Science
The functional architecture of the computer has traditionally been shaped by the size of specialized components and concepts of how people think. Microelectronics is now eliminating these constraints

Computer Displays
Pictures "painted" rapidly and accurately by an electron beam under computer control are helping designers and engineers at many tasks. Computer displays can also help to clarify complex physical phenomena

Computer Inputs and Outputs
The input-output system of a computer consists of the programs and devices that allow the machine and its user to communicate. Recently graphical devices for this purpose have evolved rapidly
