    ABSTRACT:: AL is a high-level programming system for specification of
               manipulatory tasks such as assembly of an object from parts.
               AL includes an ALGOL-like source language, a translator for
               converting programs into runnable code, and a runtime system
               for controlling manipulators and other devices. The system
               includes advanced features for describing individual motions
               of manipulators, for using sensory information, and for
               describing assembly algorithms in terms of common
               domain-specific primitives. This document describes the
               design of AL, which is currently being implemented as a
               successor to the Stanford WAVE system.
