Manipulator.

摘要

A manipulator suitable for tasks in remote places which are not easily accessible to operators comprises an arm composed of a series of arm modules (2a-2f) each having an articulate (12a-12f) and an address decoder (40a-40f) and being constructed by the arm modules of an indentical construction to attain an easy maintenance and high flexibility of the manipulator. The operation of the arm modules is controlled a control system (6) which has a plurality of articulate angular-position commanding circuits (85a-85g) and a time-sharing control circuit (86).
