ABSTRACT:
This invention relates generally to robots and specifically to a robot for spraying applications which has the ability to accurately follow trajectories that require high speeds and accelerations, a working envelope appropriate for processing the sides, top, and bottom of a large object such as an aircraft, an integrated revolute joint and actuator for supplying power to the movable components of the robot along protected, low maintenance power paths, a zero backlash drive, and a gravity compensating system which causes the robot to be neutrally balanced throughout its entire working envelope even while carrying a payload of significant weight.
