Default Interesting link, lots of metal



Canada, I saw the arm, the kinematics of grabing something that big and not
forking up the shuttle has to be an impressive contribution. Why aren't ya
competing with Fanuc?

Yeah, a lot of technology in the arm. Did you know that it
is not strong enough to support itself against earth's gravity?
Poses a number of testing questions, doesn't it? And, as you
say, kinematics even when "weightless".

(Wondering if it was a Canadian that developed the robotic
prostate surgery roto-rooter? Excuse me, I have to re-swallow
my private parts....)
