As more medical companies seek robots for increasingly complex tasks such as robotic-assisted surgeries, systems developers tasked with building these robots see an even greater demand for sophisticated robotic control and tasking software. Robot motion control enables articulated arms to move through the action of rotating and sliding joints, and mobile robots to move through locomotion and steering. This controlled motion enables these complex tasks with whatever end effector is appropriate on the robot. Task can be manipulative, as when using a gripper, or sensory, as when positioning and capturing data with a camera.
