Abstract :
Master slave servo manipulators (MSSM) offer the best efficiency of all manipulator types. The Nuclear Research Center of Karlsruhe has developed MSSM for nuclear applications. The latest development is the VMSM, a hermetically sealed manipulator for operation in vacuum or under water. A prototype of this machine has been manufactured and is being tested.<>
