ABSTRACT
There are many robot simulation packages currently available in Europe. Amongst these are IGRIP, Robcad and Grasp (Mahajan and Walter 1986) (Yong and Bennaton 1988). These systems are workstation based and relatively expensive. For many companies the expense is often difficult to justify and such
systems are mostly used by subcontractors specialising in the design and installation of large high value automation systems.
