Abstract:

A robotic arm system comprising a deployment system or a base, a first joint, and a manipulator coupled to the deployment system or base at the first joint and movable relative to the deployment link or base about the first joint. The manipulator includes a manipulator link, a second joint coupled to the manipulator link distal from the first joint, an elevation linkage coupled to the manipulator link at the second joint, a wrist coupled to the elevation linkage distal from the second joint, and an end effector coupled to the wrist. The end effector can change elevation via the elevation link without changing orientation.
