ABSTRACT:
A mechanical manipulator having actuators therein operating across orthogonal pivot joints formed between pivot connection structures and a link arrangement, and also between these same pivot connection structures and a corresponding effector. The actuators are coupled to effectors to position them as selected by having portions of such actuators coupled to the effectors that are capable of moving toward and away from other portions of such actuators connected to the link structure. The components of the mechanical manipulator, except for portions of the effectors, can be enclosed so as to allow the effectors to move in response to the actuators while excluding foreign matter from the enclosed portion thereof.
