Abstract: A robot device having a driven unit is proposed, wherein the driven unit is conceived for approaching surfaces. The driven unit according to the present invention is covered with a protective layer from a coating material which is electrically conductive and has a thickness of at least 4 millimeters.

Abstract: A device with a manipulator unit which comprises a driveable manipulator arm is proposed. According to the present invention, there is a lifting arrangement with a flexible pulling element, on which lifting arrangement the manipulator unit is lowerable and/or raisable in a suspended manner, wherein coupling means acting between the flexible pulling element and the manipulator unit are present designed in such a manner that the manipulator unit in the suspended state on the pulling element is adjustable spatially about an axis in order to set a predefined orientation.
