Leonardo Da Vinci’s Robot• Leonardo's robot, or Leonardo's mechanical knight, was a

humanoid automaton designed and possibly constructed by Leonardo da Vinci around 1495

• The robot knight could stand, sit, raise its visor and independently maneuver its arms, and had an anatomically correct jaw, all operated by a series of pulleys and cables

• The robot has been built faithfully based on Leonardo's design, and was found to be fully functional

• Question: is this a robot?

In this example, {b} is placed at the tip of the end-effector, translated and rotated from the prismatic joint. The translation (linear relative motion) effects the –z unit axis of {b}.That means that as we move the prismatic joint, the motion of {b} is in the zs direction or –zb direction.
