I am thinking specifically of the joint motions and any problems with oscillation if the arm is somewhat flexible. How accurately can the end of the arm be manipulated? Are there any sort of correction mechanisms if such inaccuracy does exist? Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks. { Kevyn Collins-Thompson University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ont., Canada. }
