Abstract
The function of a robot is to perform useful tasks, and this cannot be done without a means of controlling the movements of the manipulator. Chapter 1 showed that in the simpler applications the position of an end-effector may be controlled by placing mechanical stops on the actuator. Such pick-and-place devices will be examined more closely in this chapter.
