axis inversion M-mode			There is a fourth axis of motion, which is the wrist rotation. Articulated robots win points for flexibility and dexterity by Tooling & Production It has individual servo motors for each axis of motion and speeds up to about 15 ft/sec. Robot has 360[degrees] wrist by Plastics Technology Torque: What is measured in the intact human subject is not usually tension, but torque, which is the effectiveness of a force in producing rotation of a limb around its axis (joint) and is the product of the muscle force and the perpendicular distance of the tendon of insertion from the axis of motion (de Lateur & Lehmann, 1986, p.
