In order to perform a robotic manipulation task a host robot arm and a handling strategy should be selected (tweezer handling, vacuum handling, etc...). In the context of conventional robotics, the repeatability of positioning of the object to be manipulated is directly linked to the repeatability inherent in the host arm, and is independent of the handling strategy. The arm is generally selected as a function of the properties of the objects to be manipulated (shape, fragility, specific physical properties).
