Summary
In connection with researches in the area of Artificial Intelligence, several studies have been made of mechanical manipulators for use under computer control. This paper summarizes these results, and gives the reader an overview of problems associated with the design, kinematics and control of mechanical manipulators. Some new results on kinematics are presented.
