Robots are Precise

Robots do exactly what you tell them to do. If a robot doesn't quite do what you planned in your pseudocode, it may mean that your instructions weren't quite right. Using precise measurement to program movement is critical for a robot to successfully complete a task.

For example:

  • Surgical robots must have pinpoint accuracy in order to treat certain areas while avoiding others.
  • Robots that need to complete a series of movements must make each of those movements precisely. An error in robot movement accumulates and increases dramatically with each subsequent movement.
  • Assembly robots must be continuously precise in order to guarantee the quality of the product they are helping to manufacture.
