Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“As technology advances, various types of robotic devices a re being created for performing a variety offunctions that may assist users. Ro botic devices may be used for applications involving material handling,transpor tation, welding, assembly, and dispensing, among others. Over time, the manner i n which theserobotic systems operate is becoming more intelligent, efficient, a nd intuitive. As robotic systems becomeincreasingly prevalent in numerous aspec ts of modern life, it is desirable for robotic systems to be efficient.Therefor e, a demand for efficient robotic systems has helped open up a field of innovati on in actuators,movement, sensing techniques, as well as component design and a ssembly.”
