This lecture covers the role of ball bearings as guides in industrial and applied robotics, including examples of uses such as guiding motor shafts and robot arm pivots. It explains different types of bearings, bearing arrangements, and the stiffness of axes retained by elastic elements. The lecture also discusses recirculating ball guides, linear guides, and roller guides for micro positioning applications.
