  • Abstract
    The paper describes the design of an advanced control system for the PUMA560 industrial robotic manipulator using a high-performance parallel transputer (T805) network. The Transputer Interface Board (TIE) which establishes a transputer link to the 6503 microprocessors of the PUMA arm controller, is detailed. Much more flexibility can be achieved with this system. The interface period is now reduced to 1.75 ms (instead of the default 28 ms). Controlled by this new system, PUMA moves much more smoothly
