Summary

This paper deals with the simulation of a control of an industrial arm using a prediction filter to track an object. It also deals with a developed range-sensing subsystem (range sensor), which, making use of trigonometric principles, can sense the two-dimensional location of the object even if it is moving. First, the hardware and the software of the 2-D range sensor are described. Next, processes to give the arm successive locations to arrive at, using the data obtained by the range sensor are illustrated. Finally some resultant simulation follows.
