== RCS applications ==

* [[Robocrane]] - RCS controlled a [[crane (machine)|crane]] having six [[degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)| degrees of freedom]]. It incorporated tactile, proximity and vision [[sensors]].

* Next Generation Inspection System - RCS controlled a [[Coordinate Measuring Machine]], with sensors including analog touch probes, video camera, and [[laser rangefinder]].

*Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles - RCS controlled a group of [[autonomous vehicle]]s, at a high level coordinating their movements, and a low level controlling their steering, throttle and brakes. Sensors included an [[Inertial navigation system]] and [[differential GPS]].

* [[The Enhanced Machine Controller | Enhanced Machine Controller]], or EMC - an NIST research project in [[CNC]] software that uses RCS.
