摘要
新闻编辑从发明者提供的背景信息中获得了以下引文：“机器人通常被定义为一种可重新编程的多功能机械手，其设计用于通过可变的编程运动来移动材料、零件、工具和/或专用设备，以执行一个或多个任务。机器人可以是物理锚定的机械手(例如，工业机械臂)，在整个环境中移动的移动平台（例如，USI NG腿、轮子或基于牵引的机构），或一个或多个机械手和/或一个或多个移动平台的某种组合。机器人被用于各种行业，例如，制造业、仓库物流、运输、危险环境、勘探和医疗保健。
Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “A robot is generally defined as a reprogrammabl e and multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, and/o r specialized devices through variable programmed motions to perform one or more tasks. Robots may be manipulators that are physically anchored (e.g., industria l robotic arms), mobile platforms that move throughout an environment (e.g., usi ng legs, wheels, or traction-based mechanisms), or some combination of one or mo re manipulators and/or one or more mobile platforms. Robots are utilized in a va riety of industries including, for example, manufacturing, warehouse logistics, transportation, hazardous environments, exploration, and healthcare.”
