ABSTRACT:
In this manipulator system, a small arm is coupled with an arm portion of a large arm excepting the tip, and the large arm and the small arm are independently controlled to operate. For coupling the small arm with the arm portion of the large arm, a capturing mechanism located at the tip of the large arm is actuated to be coupled with a capturing mechanism of the small arm. Another capturing mechanism of the small arm is moved to a capturing mechanism located on the arm portion of the large arm to be mechanically and electrically coupled therewith. When this coupling has been completed, the coupling between the capturing mechanism located on the tip of the large arm and the capturing mechanism of the small arm is released. As a result, the small arm can be branch-connected to the large arm, and expansion of the work range and complex work become possible.
