Abstract
Motorized manipulator, wherein it comprises a body, a shaft which rotates about its longitudinal axis with respect to the body, an upper arm articulated to the end of the shaft about a shoulder axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the shaft and to the longitudinal axis of the arm, an intermediate arm directly articulated to the end of the upper arm about an elbow axis parallel to the shoulder axis, a forearm articulated to the end of the intermediate arm about a third axis parallel to the elbow axis, the forearm being able to rotate about its longitudinal axis, a tool having a longitudinal axis mounted in pivotal manner at the end of the forearm about an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the longitudinal axes of the forearm and the tool, the latter being able to rotate about its longitudinal axis and a plurality of motors fixed to the body and a transmission including cables and pulleys for transmitting the control movements of the motors to the corresponding moving members of the manipulator.
