Abstract
An articulating assembly of a robotic system has an extruded connector arm including a longitudinally-extending body portion and a connection portion. The body portion has an axial base member, a perimeter wall, and a plurality of webs extending radially from the base member to the perimeter wall. The robotic system may also have an actuatable joint secured to the connection portion of the connector arm. The connector arm may be cut-to-size and replaceable, thereby forming a modular component for the robotic system.
