Abstract
Continuous‐path motion means moving a robot arm from A to B to C without stopping. Some of the concepts for generating such motions in present‐day robots are presented here, and in a following article. The emphasis is on day‐to‐day operation, path teaching, and recovery from anomalies like emergency stop, rather than on mathematical detail. This article discusses how simple single‐segment motions are performed.
