Abstract
Examples for precision assembly of robotic components are described herein. A robotic manipulator may require the assembly and disassembly of its components. To enable efficient assembly of the robotic manipulator, an example assembly may include connection links between robotic components that enable functional and precise assembly. In one embodiment, an example assembly may include connection links having various structural features positioned incrementally at respective positions proximal to outside edges of the connection links for securing the connection links together in a fixed, immovable geometric configuration. In some instances, the connection links may further include electrical components or slots for electrical components of components for establishing electrical connections between the connection links within the assembly. Further, an example assembly may include a clamping component for providing axial force to secure the connection links in the precise configuration.
