Minsky's MA-3 Arm with Belgrade Hand

Marvin Minsky, a pioneer in artificial intelligence research and co-founder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, designed this robotic arm with the aim of developing a computer system that could see and independently locate, grasp, and manipulate objects. Fabricated by William Bennett and used between 1965 and 1972, this “Tentacle Arm” could be controlled by a digital PDP-6 computer, was powered by hydraulics, had twelve joints (8 degrees of freedom), and was strong enough to lift a person. This work inspired Minsky's seminal 1986 book The Society of Mind, which explored the nature of intelligence and the diversity of mechanisms involved in thought, memory, and language. (Source: MIT Museum.)
