The following are definitions of the terms used in this List, in alphabetical order. Definitions apply throughout the List. The references are purely advisory and have no effect on the universal application of defined terms throughout the List. Words and terms contained in this List of Definitions only take the defined meaning where this is indicated by their being enclosed in "double quotations marks". Definitions of terms between 'single quotation marks' are given in a Technical note to the relevant item. Elsewhere, words and terms take their commonly accepted (dictionary) meanings.

ML17"Robot" Note
1. Manipulation mechanisms which are only manually/teleoperator controllable;
2. Fixed sequence manipulation mechanisms which are automated moving devices, operating according to mechanically fixed programmed motions.

The sequence of motions and the selection of paths or angles are not variable or changeable by mechanical, electronic or electrical means;
3. Mechanically controlled variable sequence manipulation mechanisms which are automated moving devices, operating according to mechanically fixed programmed motions. The programme is mechanically limited by fixed, but adjustable, stops, such as pins or cams. The sequence of motions and the selection of paths or angles are variable within the fixed programme pattern. Variations or modifications of the programme pattern (e.g. changes of pins or exchanges of cams) in one or more motion axes are accomplished only through mechanical operations;
