HoweveL these operations can r e s e t ~ unfo~een ~tuations that req~re interruption ef a robot program, followed by manu~ a~u~ment to the p ~ h and subsequent resumption of program c o n t r , . A mi~ocomputer and p r e s t o n joystick c o , r o l l e r interfaced with the contr~ u~t of the robot provide an e f f e ~ e means of a c h ~ ing t~s from a remote ~cation.
