It is often the case, for instance, that accuracy requirements are less demanding. On the other hand, concerns of paramount importance are safety and dependability of the robot system. According to such difference in requirements, it can be expected that usage of conventional industrial arms for anthropic environments will be far from optimal. An approach to increase the safety level of robot arms interacting with humans consists in the introduction of compliance at the mechanical design level.
