Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for controlling a robot hand along a predetermined path at a predetermined speed in space between two points, wherein the value of a command speed is determined on the basis of a position information and a velocity information on the robot hand, more particularly, on the basis of the sum of a value proportional to the positonal deviation of the robot hand from the predetermined path, a value proportional to accumulated positional deviation determined during sampling operations carried out from a start point, a value proportional to the speed deviation of the robot hand from the predetermined speed within a constant-speed region, and a value proportional to accumulated speed deviation determined during sampling operations carried out from an initial sampling point within the constant-speed region.
