Summary

The paper describes a newly developed three-dimensional computer animation system to be used for creating motion programs for a set of actors. The animation package includes a language for describing spatial motion of bodies, as well as an interactive tool to be used for assigning geometrical attributes to them and for guiding and visualizing the play-back of motion programs. One of the main uses of the package is robot programming and motion simulation. A geometrical modeller, which is a an aid in creating the models of animated bodies, is also described.
