Abstract

A method according to the invention for controlling a manipulator, in particular a robot, includes the following steps:determining (S10, S20) a target path (q(s)) of the manipulator, anddetermining (S70) a motion value (v(s)) for this target path,optionally, determining (S50) a path segment ([s_A, s_E]) with a defined profile of a motion value (v(s)=vc), and automatically determining (S60) this motion value on the basis of motion values (v_max_RB, v_max_vg) permissible in this path segment.
