Abstract
A robotic arm system is provided. The system includes a one or more roll and/or angle actuators driven by a unidirectional drive. One or more clutches allow the actuators to engage and disengage with a drive shaft or a reverser assembly or angle drive coupled to the drive shaft, thereby permitting changes in rotational direction for the actuators without a change in the rotational direction of the drive.
