Abstract
The present invention is directed to supports for robotic arms, and more specifically to portable, deployable supports for robotic arms for use in nondestructive testing. The robotic arm support of the present invention includes retractable extensions configured to collapse into a robotic arm mount. The extensions include suction cups for attachment, unattachment, and reattachment of the mount to a surface. The robotic arm mount includes a cavity into which a robotic arm is inserted and secured to conduct nondestructive testing of specimens.
