Abstract
A manipulator and control are provided for moving a function element carried by the manipulator in accordance with programmed input signals defining positions and path velocities therebetween of a tool centerpoint associated with the function element. The path velocity is made susceptible of variation in accordance with unprogrammed variations of a parameter manually or automatically produced. Motion of the tool centerpoint is effected by interpolation of intermediate point along a predetermined path between any two preprogrammed positions. Each intermediate point is displaced from its predecessor by an increment computed in accordance with a fixed increment interval period and an instantaneously variable increment velocity. Incremental velocity values are computed selectively in accordance with a simple function relating the variable parameter and velocity and in accordance with the preprogrammed definition of motion.
