Abstract
This paper will discuss a possible low-level control interface for a robot manipulator. The first section will present background information describing a proposed system modularization and the capabilities and limitations afforded by the use of interfaces. The next section presents three possible low-level robot control interfaces within this system. These will be elaborated on including a specification of the interface information and its use, timing considerations, and potential limitations. The paper concludes with a summary discussion and recommendation.
