The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion (such as in an articulated robot) or translational (linear) displacement. retrieves a compound sample at the Amgen Small Molecule Sample Bank in Thousand Oaks, California Thousand Oaks, commonly referred to as "T.O." by residents, is a city in southeastern Ventura County, California, in the United States. It was named after the many oak trees that grace the area, and the city seal is adorned with an oak. Friday March 16, 2001. The $8 million facility, which combines advances in biotechnology with robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions and information storage technology, allows samples to be stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius, reportedly the lowest temperature ever achieved in sample bank design and construction.
