Abstract
From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the followingquote: “Robotics have become increasingly advanced in rece nt decades as technological advances in costand accuracy allows viability for a n increasing number of industrial processes involving repetitive actions.Large industrial robots have been in use for heavy equipment manufacturing, and typica lly involve fixedposition, dedicated task machines that represent substantial c apital investment. More recently, smaller,general purpose utility robots have e merged, which typically have a more universal manipulation capabilitythat can b e applied to multiple industrial tasks by reconfiguring and reprogramming the ro bot withinstructions for performing the particular industrial process.”
