Degrees of rotation
When it is necessary to move this robot arm to a certain position
within its work envelope, or the region in space that the arm can reach,
the operator enters data into a computer. This data includes the measures
of angles X, Y, and Z. In the example shown by the illustration, the oper-
ator has specified X = 39°, Y = 75°, and Z = 51°. For simplicity, no other
possible variable parameters, such as base rotation, wrist rotation, or
extension/retraction of linear sections, are shown.

DELIBERATION
Deliberation refers to any characteristic of robotic navigation that involves
advance planning of some sort, rather than mere reaction to the presence
