A tape is perforated with coded instructions and dimensions to control the sequence and amount of displacement by means of incremental motions in several modes of movement of the manipulator. Such modes include grip, sweep, X, Y, Z, Theta (arcuate gripper wrist motion) and search (vibratory parts matching such as inserting a pin in a hole). The main components of the manipulator are a tape reader, an electrically and hydraulically controlled hydraulic serial-to-parallel converter and memory and a hydraulic driver, integer and fraction hydraulic piston adders, an articulated series of X, Y, Z slide members with a gripper and a wrist member all driven by a common drive cable, and a vibratory hydraulic search mechanism.

Primary Examiner-Gerald M. Forlenza Assistant Examiner-George F. Abraham Attorneys-Hanifin and .lancin and Graham S. Jones ABSTRACT: A hydraulically operated manipulator is controlled as an automatic assembly robot to grasp, position and join parts. A tape is perforated with coded instructions and dimensions to control the sequence and amount of displacement by means of incremental motions in several modes of movement of the manipulator. Such modes include grip, sweep, X, Y, Z, 6 (arcuate gripper wrist motion) and search (vibratory parts matching such as inserting a pin in a hole). The main components of the manipulator are a tape reader, an electrically and hydraulically controlled hydraulic serial-to-parallel converter and memory and a hydraulic driver, integer and fraction hydraulic piston adders, an articulated series of X, Y, Z slide members with a gripper and a wrist member all driven by a common drive cable, and a vibratory hydraulic search mechanism.
