In contrast to the effortless ease with which human beings control
their limbs, the design of controllers for robotic manipulator arms
is a detailed, meticulous business. Motors controlling the arms
need to be started and stopped at just the right moment so that the
performance demanded by the user may be achieved at the end of a
complicated manoeuvre. And yet, the same user wishes to express the
task for the robot in the simplest possible terms without reference
to the minute details of control sequences that his task demands.
It is the design of such inter faces between man and machine that
is the subject of trus volume. Parent and Laurgeau develop the
subject in a direct and logical order. They first explain the
principles of maximal effort control which not only ensure that
motors are driven to provide high accuracy, but also that this
should be done with the least waste of energy and in the shortest
possible time. In this context, they describe the operation of
pneumatic logical devices that make rapid decisions at power levels
that exceed, by several orders, those that can be achieved with
electronic devices. They achieve this whilst keeping the reader
aware of the logical principles that are involved in the design of
master control units: the devices responsible for appropriate
actions being taken as a function of time."
