Charles Rosen (December 7, 1917 – December 8, 2002) was a pioneer in artificial intelligence and founder of SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center. [1] He led the project that led to the development of Shakey the Robot, "who" now resides in a glass case at the Computer History Museum, in Mountain View, California.
Raised in Montreal, Rosen became a student at Cooper Union and received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1940; he returned to Montreal to study at McGill University, where he received his M. Eng. (in communications) in 1950.
While working at the General Electric Research Laboratory, in 1953 Rosen co-authored one of the first textbooks on transistor circuits. [2] In 1956, Rosen received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Syracuse University (with a minor in solid state physics). [3]
In 1957, Rosen joined the Stanford Research Institute, where he did much of his artificial intelligence work. [1]
In 1959, Rosen co-founded Ridge Vineyards with SRI colleagues Hewitt Crane and David Bennion. Under their ownership, Ridge would go on to place fifth in the Judgment of Paris wine tasting. [4]
In 1978, Rosen co-founded Machine Intelligence Corporation (MIC) with colleagues from SRI and elsewhere. [5] He served as its first CEO. MIC developed the first commercially available industrial machine vision system, the VS-100, [6] in his garage. MIC later spun out Symantec Corporation in 1982. He was founding Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence in 1990. [7]
