Abstract
Outlines the development of mechanical transmission elements used to drive industrial robots. Examines the performance requirements for precision gears and actuators, concentrating on harmonic drive reduction gearing and the key features which make it superior to conventional transmissions. Concludes that the unique features of the new harmonic drives gears will assist in the realization of completely new robot concepts and that to enable this to happen the process of continuous product development must be on-going.
