ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A five and one-half degree of freedom adjustable compliance system exhibits a range of compliant control useful for large industrial manipulators which experience a range of tool lengths and payloads. Reinforced elasto- meric spheres provide monotonically increasing spring stiffness and can automatically be adjusted for a desired stiffness range through pressurized fluid. Local position sensing of the robot gripper is achieved by linear variable-differential transformers. The output is analyzed by a microcomputer for possible readjustment of the man- ipulator.
