ABSTRACT:
An automatic, controlled manipulator includes a power supply controlling motion of a tool head and providing power to a removeable powered tool supported at the end of the arm. The manipulator may be moveable in multiple or all directions. A storage for remotely generated control signals can be accessed to control motors causing 3D motion of the tool head, attachment of the tool, and (if applicable) motion of the manipulator, and also to control power to operate the tool.
