Long gone are the days of rigid robotics, where arms jerk and clank in the most unintuitive ways. These movements have hindered production and industry for years, requiring massive spaces to operate and maintain the machinery. Fluid robot motion has revolutionized the game, enabling machinery to operate in tighter spaces with greater mobility.

Behind these innovations are several...
