Abstract: A system and method for calibrating a manufacturing machine that includes a leveling device including a machine base interface to a manufacturing machine, a support system that comprises of a set of linearly actuating supports, a workpiece interface, and wherein actuation of supports collectively adjusts the orientation of the workpiece interface with two degrees of angular freedom; and a calibration system with sensors configured to measure the orientation of the workpiece interface.

Abstract: A robotics system is built from four components: a joint assembly, links, universal connectors, and end caps. These components may be arranged and configured in a number of different ways to create a wide array of popular robots that are useful for different purposes. Sensor suits maybe built into a robot's rotating joints, enabling sensor suits in every axis if so desired.
