DEFINITION

Classification: 901/2

ARM MOTION CONTROLLER:

Subject matter under the cross-reference collection definition including means for sending signals to a drive system for the arm*. [figure]

(1) Note. A device in this and in indented cross-reference subcollections represents, in human terms, the brain and nervous system of the robot. The controller will perform one or more of the following functions:

a. storing, sequencing and positioning data in memory.

b. initiating and stopping the motions of the arm*.

c. interacting with the external environment.
