Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Existinggeneral-purpose high Degree of Freedom (DoF) robotic arms are usually assembled by a large numberof small, complex and distinct par ts, which usually requires commercial infrastructures to manufacture.“Those limitations often lead to hard-coded design, which is infeasible to be cu stomized for particularuse-cases, and difficult to assemble, repair and modify. Thus these arms may be prohibitively expensive forpersonal or educational usag e.”
