Introduction
,This Course - Manipulator
A manipulator is a device used to manipulate materia
without direct contact.
o Robotic Arms
It is an arm-like mechanism that consists of a series of
segments, usually sliding or jointed called cross-slid
which grasp and move objects with a number of degre
of freedom (DOF).
Examples of robotic manipulators are:
o Canadarm
o Terabot-S
o SCARA
o da Vinci Surgical System
