TL;DR: An algorithm has been developed that efficiently solves a large class of robot navigation and obstacle avoidance problems using range information as its sole input from the environment.
Abstract: An algorithm has been developed that efficiently solves a large class of robot navigation and obstacle avoidance problems using range information as its sole input from the environment. The system resides in a minicomputer and requires very small memory (1500 words) and computing time (1.35 s) allocations while solving simulated problems of broadly ranging spatial complexity and operational intricacy. It is thus a prime candidate for use in mobile robots or manipulators where real-time operation is desired.

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.
