Abstract: A system comprising an articulated robot arm including assembly of links interconnected with motorized joint units at joints between the links for movements of the links relative to one another, one of the links being a base link. A docking cradle is adapted to be connected to a structure and configured for being releasably connected and for supporting the articulated robot arm. A coupling configuration is between the base link and the docking cradle for powering contact to be made. A clamping system includes one or more clamp members and a clamp lever for locking the base link to the docking cradle at the coupling configuration.

Abstract: An assembly of links and motorized joint unit comprises two or more links. The links have a tubular body, one or both ends of the tubular body being an open end. A motorized joint unit has a first portion received in the open end of the tubular body of a first of the links so as to be secured relative to the first of the links. A second portion is rotatable relative to the first portion by actuation of the motorized joint unit, the second portion received in the open end of the tubular body of a second of the links, the motorized joint unit secured relative to the second of the links. A protective sleeve has a tubular body mounted over part of the motorized joint unit to cover a gap between the first and the second of the links, the protective sleeve having a rigid annular member and a flexible annular member, the flexible annular member foldable onto the rigid annular member.
