Abstract

A robot assembly, including a central hub, has two arms arranged for independent rotation about the hub. Two carriers, oriented 180.degree. apart from each other, are coupled to an end of each of the arms. A drive is provided for rotating the arms in opposite directions to extend one or the other of said carriers radially from said central hub, and for rotating the arms in the same direction to effect rotation of the carriers.
