Abstract
A collision-free control method is developed for an articulated manipulator. The control method is implemented on a parallel-processing system composed of 64 microprocessor units. The manipulator moves in three-dimensional space, and obstacles can be set at any position or can be moving. On-line control is accomplished by parallel processing.
