TeleGRIP: a virtual tool for real world control problems

The application of 3D modelling techniques to problems such as conceptual design, path/motion planning, kinematic and dynamic modelling, human factors engineering and so on, are now widely accepted as standard engineering design practices. This paper considers the application of Deneb´s Tele-interactive Graphics Robot Instruction Program, TeleGRIP, through case studies and practical examples, to the various engineering problems associated with remotely operated vehicles and fixed base manipulators
