More Information
Summary:Cable routing approaches are described that allow cables to pass through a traditional chain joint without reducing the strength capacity or impairing the range of motion of the joint. The cable routing approaches permit the cables to be housed inside the structure of the robotic arm and pass through the chain joint in a manner that does not limit the width of the chain.
