compliant motion

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

It is hard for a robot (or human) to precisely fit a close fitting part. Compliant motion makes use of parts that deliberately allow some initial inaccuracy (for example bolts with a tapered end) and pressure feedback so that parsts can be placed in the approxmate position and then adjusted by sliding or twisting.
