Evidence
The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. This record is Nilsson’s 1969 report, not sole authorship of the multi-year Shakey project. Hardware construction, later STRIPS work and contributions by Charles Rosen, Bertram Raphael, Peter Hart and other SRI staff remain distinct.
