    Abstract: A method of indicating noise emissions of an industrial robot, including: obtaining at least one robot program containing commands to the industrial robot; obtaining a plurality of values of at least one robot-motion parameter; recording, for each of the values of the robot-motion parameter, an acoustic quantity indicative of noise emitted by the industrial robot while executing said at least one robot program; and displaying, by means of a graphical user interface on a visual display, a visualization of the acoustic quantity indicated as a function of the robot-motion parameter.

    Abstract: A telescopic shaft having a first shaft, a second shaft configured to enable a first relative movement in an axial direction between the first and second shafts, and a third shaft configured to enable a second relative movement in the axial direction between the second and third shafts, and a third relative movement in the axial direction between the first and third shafts. The second shaft is located between the first and third shafts. The telescopic shaft is configured to connect a base of a parallel kinematics robot to an end effector of the same for the purpose of transferring torque. By providing the telescopic shaft with more than two shafts with mutual relative movements between the same, an extension factor (the relation between the maximum and minimum lengths of the telescopic shaft) and by that the working area of the parallel kinematics robot can be increased.

    Abstract: A parallel kinematics robot has a first drive arm and a second drive arm, the two drive arms being crossed when the robot operates within its normal work area. The drive arms thereby occupy less space in a horizontal direction compared with a situation where the two drive arms point away from each other.
