The company says the Scitos G5 Manipulator offers an accuracy of 2-3 cm. It is not a purely A to B type of robot but has the ability to transport objects from anywhere to anywhere. Implemented with the CogniDrive software there are no environmental changes as well as external sensors or markers necessary.

The manipulator side of the robot comes courtesy of a Schunk modular robotic arm, which is completely customisable with any number of joints making the degrees of freedom completely depended on customers wishes and specifications.
