Abstract

Various embodiments include a robot unit for a technical apparatus comprising: a base connecting the robot unit to the technical apparatus; a first member pivot-mounted on the base; and a second member pivot-mounted on the base or the first member. The first member and the second member are each movable in one direction relative to a degree of freedom by a separate actuator. The first member and the second member are only movable together counter to the direction relative to the degree of freedom by a single counter actuator device.
