Flakey the robot was a research robot created at SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center and was the successor to Shakey the robot. It is featured in a Scientific American Frontiers episode (Season 5, Episode 1).[1]

Transcription
Software
Most of Flakey's routines were written in Lisp, with some lower-level code written in C.[2] The code maintains a "Local Perceptual Space" that is updated by the sensors and acted on by planning algorithms.[3]
Hardware
It was about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, and included 12 sonar sensors, optical wheel encoders, a video camera, and a depth-finding laser.[4]
Research results
Flakey was used to demonstrate fuzzy logic and goal-oriented behavior - it would take what it knew and work towards one of several goals.[5] At the first AAAI robotics competition in July 1992, Flakey took second place and the University of Michigan's CARMEL took first, above Georgia Tech's "Buzz" and IBM's "TJ2".[2][5]
