Humanoid robots are currently developing at a rapid pace. The predicted growth potential is enormous. They are set to replace and even surpass the automotive industry in terms of market potential. And in the media and at trade fairs, they are the prime example of "embodied AI," i.e., the complete integration of artificial intelligence (AI) processes with machine components or entire systems. The focus is particularly on the markets in the U.S. and Asia, where a great deal of progress is being made in terms of software and hardware.

With the speed at which technology advances, there is little room for suboptimal performance and out-of-date tech. Precise positioning is a field where advancement is needed, as many conventional applications feature tools that are much larger than the objects being worked upon, making high precision a difficult task. Additionally, those that are highly precise have a limited range of motion.
