Abstract
The control arm for a remotely operated power manipulator comprises a system for carrying out a number of movements and position detectors for each movement. The number of possible movements of the arm is equal to the number of possible movements of the manipulator and motion-control operations can be interrupted at will. Means are provided on at least one portion of the control arm for interlockiing it with respect to another portion of the arm independently of the other movements as long as the position of the manipulator and of the arm have not been brought into complete concordance and for releasing the interlock when complete concordance is achieved.
