\manSection{DESCRIPTION}
{\tt find_robot()} searches the RCI robot library for a robot with the
specified name, and, if found, returns the associated robot ID number. If the 
robot is not found, {\tt find_robot} returns 0.

{\tt robot_class()} searches the RCI robot library for a robot with the
specified name, and, if found, returns its class. This is an integer
defined in the file {\filefont h/robotClass.h} which describes the robot's
generic type. For instance, the class {\tt PUMA} is defined for ``PUMA'' type
robots. 

If the robot is defined in the RCI library, then it should be possible
to obtain parameter structures for that robot using the routines
{\tt getJls()}, {\tt getKyn()}, and {\tt getVarSize()}.
