Abstract: The planning of straight line trajectory using the interactive computer graphics simulation of robot manipulator movement is discussed. This new approach to straight line motion planning improves the ´bound deviation joint paths´ developed by R. M. Taylor (1979). The new approach has three characteristics: (1) linear interpolation in joint space; (2) unequal intervals for interpolating knot points; (3) using interactive computer graphics to assure that the maximum deviation in the whole segment is less than the pre-specified values. The structure and mathematical basis of a computer program developed for this purpose are presented.
