Summary

A complication to the process of remotely generating tool paths is that mechanism controllers are typically capable of commanding a robot or machine tool to move along linear and circular arc space segments. This paper considers the decomposition of parametrically described, higher-order curvilinear paths into piecewise linear and circular path segments, thereby reducing the data required to store a higher order path.

Keywords
