Accuracy
Is a measure of how close the actual position of the robot arm (output) is to the position called for by the programming (input) when the controller no longer causes the power system to change the position of the arm.
Arm
The part of the robot that positions the end-effector and sensors to do their pre-programmed business. Robot arms come in all shapes and sizes. Many (but not all) resemble human arms, and have shoulders, elbows, wrists, even fingers. These are commonly referred to as "jointed-arm" robots.
Articulated-Arm Robot
Is a robot made up of all rotational joints. The motion of the robot is similar to that of a human being.
Artificial intelligence
The ability of computers to "think" in ways similar to human beings. Examples might be reasoning, adaptation, decision making, and learning from mistakes. At present, artificial intelligence has a long way to go before machines can be considered truly "smart." Present day "AI" does allow machines to mimic certain simple human thought processes, but can't begin to match the quickness and complexity of the brain.
