TL;DR: In this paper, an endless chain is caused to become locked to and driven by a work-carrier forming part of a conveyor, and the chain drives a signal generator whose output represents the advance of the workcarrier past a robot.
Abstract: An endless chain is caused to become locked to and driven by a work-carrier forming part of a conveyor. The chain drives a signal generator whose output represents the advance of the work-carrier past a robot and the generated signal is combined with program control signals of the robot to modify the operation of the robot so that the robot can operate on a moving work-piece whereas the robot's program alone would cause robot operations on a work-piece that remains at-rest.

TL;DR: Whereas present industrial robots generally don’t have any sensory organs, television cameras and tactile sensors are today already essential components of research robots allowing them to adapt their operations to a varying environment.
Abstract: The paper first gives a general survey of the different types of controllers used on today’s robots. The principles of positionning point by point and of creating continuous trajectories are explained together with the technical means of achieving them. Whereas present industrial robots generally don’t have any sensory organs, television cameras and tactile sensors are today already essential components of research robots allowing them to adapt their operations to a varying environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, an industrial robot incorporating a control system by means of which the robot may repeat automatically a desired movement pattern, two hydraulic cylinders are interconnected by an articulation means which may be disconnected from the robot arms so as not to take part in the arm movements during programming.
Abstract: In an industrial robot incorporating a control system by means of which the robot may repeat automatically a desired movement pattern, two hydraulic cylinders to pivot the robot pivotable arms in a vertical plane. The hydraulic cylinders are interconnected by an articulation means which may be disconnected from the robot arms so as not to take part in the arm movements during programming, but again be connected to the robot arms to allow the associated hydraulic cylinders to perform their function when the robot is to operate according to the chosen programme.

TL;DR: This paper reflects the state of development of multilevel control algorithms for a six-legged mobile robot that has a perceptive ability and can measure distances up to points in the terrain relief to be overcome.
Abstract: This paper reflects the state of development of multilevel control algorithms for a six-legged mobile robot. The robot has a perceptive ability and can measure distances up to points in the terrain relief to be overcome. The measurement process is coordinated with the robot's motion. DC simulation results and the analysis of the robot's moving image on the display screen make it possible to check the algorithms and to search ways for their improvement.
