15.

(a) The robot is to be programmed to pick up a part from point A and move it point B, followed by a move to a neutral position. Points A and B are to be defined by the programmer within robots work volume. Then the robot should pick up the part at point b and move it back t point a, followed by a move to pervious neutral position. The robot can be operated continually repeat the motion pattern over and over. Give the design of the robot. Or (b) Describe the different search techniques employed by AI program. (16) the run mode to (16)
