ABSTRACT:
An industrial robot has a base and the mechanical links of a shoulder, arm and hand joined in series with a waist joint, shoulder joint, wrist roll joint and wrist pivot joint. A clutch mechanism is associated with each joint, and continuously spinning shafting extends through all the links and joints. The clutch mechanisms each take power upon electronic command from the shafting to power the joints and move the links relative to each other.
