dc.description.abstract	This paper describes the basic geometry of the electric manipulator designed for the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Victor Scheinman while on leave from Stanford University. The procedure for finding a set of joint angles that will place the terminal device in a desired position and orientation is developed in detail. This is on of the basic primitives that an arm controller should have. The orientation is specified in terms of Euler-angles. Typically eight sets of joint angles will produce the same terminal device position and orientation.	en
