The trajectory planning for the manipulator installed on "the automatic pothole repair vehicle" is discussed and the final surface of the patched pot hole is simulated in this work. The relationship between the accumulation data of the mixture with and without the movement of the manipulator is identified to utilize the latter data for the calculation of the former one. Based on this relationship, the method to calculate the accumulation of the mixture when the manipulator changes the speed and the direction is also introduced. The trajectory is determined to make the final surface smooth under the condition that the pothole is cut to hexahedron before patching and only the spacing and the shifting of the manipulator is controllable. Final surface is simulated by the computer to prove the adequacy of the determined trajectory.
