A robotic system composed of a PUMA robot arm, a camera with pan and tilt, and a connected graphics workstation that processes the camera images and provides visual feedback to the robot is described in this paper. The authors explain the high-level architecture of the system and briefly discuss two experiments: one simulation and one using a real robot.

There are multiple problems with the paper. First, its innovative contributions are unclear. Similar systems have been constructed and described multiple times. The paper has a number of citations, but lacks a critical discussion of the differences between its work and existing work. Second, the experimental results are described at such a general level that they are almost useless. The six images of the simulated robot do not convey much useful information. For the experiment with the real robot, there are two images showing the robot arm reaching for a bowl. While the experiment with a real robot is appreciated, there is no quantitative data presented. For instance, it would have been useful to know if the experiment was done once or multiple times, if it succeeded every time, what the positional errors were, how long it took for the robot to reach the target, and so on.

Finally, there are many grammatical errors, ranging from a lack or improper use of articles to incorrect word choices (for instance, the word “relative” is used instead of “relevant”). Since there is no discussion to contrast this paper with the literature and there are few details on the experiments, it is unclear what goals the authors thought would be accomplished by submitting this paper, or what goals the editors had in mind when they accepted it.
