ABSTRACT:
A manipulator consisting of a slave assembly, a master unit, and a control circuit. The movement of the various components of the slave assembly are actuated by electric stepping motors, and the slave assembly itself comprises a pantograph linkage having a wrist at one end of an extended link of the linkage. A jaw assembly connected to the wrist is arrranged to be operated by a fluid circuit which is pressurized by an electric pump and regulated by the action of a throttling device that has a plunger held over an opening by an electric solenoid. Movement of the plunger is detected by the change of impedance of a sensing coil as the plunger enters the coil.
