A robotic manipulator is a type of robotic arm designed to perform tasks that require precision and control. It consists of joints and links that allow it to move in various directions, mimicking the motion of a human arm. These manipulators are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, where they can assemble products, weld parts, or handle materials. Robotic manipulators can be programmed to perform repetitive tasks, increasing efficiency and reducing human error. They often utilize sensors and cameras to enhance their functionality, allowing them to interact with their environment. Applications range from automotive assembly lines to medical surgeries, showcasing their versatility in different fields.
