Abstract

An articulatable robot has a forearm and robotic wrist, the wrist having plural members mounted on plural axes of rotation. A laser generator is connected through a light pipe system to the robot forearm, distal to the robotic wrist, and a continuous laser beam pathway is established through the forearm and robotic wrist, the beam pathway extending colinearly with the plural rotation axes of the wrist members.
