ABSTRACT:
A manipulator for an automatic test equipment test head. The manipulator includes a plurality of motors that are coupled with load cells. A controller provides motor control signals based on the output of the load cells. The manipulator may be operated in compliant mode in which the motors drive the manipulator to move in response to external forces. The manipulator can be used in conjunction with a docking system in which a mechanical interface between the test head and the handling device defines the position of the test head relative to the handling device.
