Just a note to plug a forthcoming paper related to this very subject.  I
have in my hand a paper entitled 

  "Integration of Knowledge-Based System and Neural Network Techniques
   for Robotic Control" by David A. Handelman, Stephen H. Lane, and Jack
   J. Gelfand

to be presented at the IFAC Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in
Real-Time Control, in Swansea, UK, next week.  It is hot off the
presses, and quite interesting.  The basic idea is that the expert
system controls the robot (a two link arm) and teaches the net.  The net
takes over until some change in the system requires more learning.

(The first author is a soon to be Princeton grad and the second other is
a recent grad.  All three currently work for David Sarnoff Research
Center here in Princeton.)
