Their roles, in preferred order of discussion:

Peter Hart: Peter worked on the Vision system, the A* shortest path algorithm and the plan execution system, and was a project leader

Nils Nilsson: Nils worked on the A* shortest path algorithm, the STRIPS planning system, and was a project leader

Bert Raphael: Bert worked on the A* shortest path algorithm, and was a project leader

Dick Duda: Dick worked on the vision system and on the Markov tables

Richard Fikes: Richard worked on the Planning and plan execution system

Helen Wolf: Helen is the Lady Ada Lovelace of robotics since she has a reasonable claim to being the world’s first robotics programmer

Claude Fennema: Claude worked on the vision system

Mike Wilber: Mike was a Systems programmer, working on the lower level software

Tom Garvey: The work on Shakey’s system became the core of Tom’s Stanford PhD thesis, which described a new way to envision vision
