Student research summary:

by Hunter W.

The T3 Robot Arm is a very beneficial robot made in 1973, at the time being called the “Tomorrow Tool” and it was the first robot to use the revolute configuration, a rigid system in which multiple robotic arms are connected by rotary joints. It is used commonly in factories to either repair broken functions or lift and carry objects to other belts, it can also be used to do the jobs of workers that may be too hard for a human to do. It was very popular in factories as it could help with many jobs such as things that could end in severe injury or death, which severely decreased the death or injury of very valuable employees. The T3 Robot Arm is a very beneficial and valuable robot that helped factories in need of extra help, and helps factories to this day.
