ABSTRACT:
An automatic, controlled manipulator includes a moveable tool head on an arm and a 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. Video signals generated at the manipulator are used to identify the workpiece, to select one of a plurality of stored control programs, and to select the tool operations applied.
