摘要： A robotic system and method that includes a robot having one or more axes of movement and which can be coupled to a supplemental axis unit that is structured to rotatably displace the robot about a supplemental axis. The robot can be coupled to a rotatable wheel portion of a table unit of the supplemental axis unit. The wheel portion can be operably coupled to a drive unit having a motor that provides rotational power for the rotational displacement of the wheel portion, and thus the robot, about the supplemental axis of the supplemental axis unit. The robotic system can also include one or more controllers that can be configured to dynamically control or coordinate the movement of both the robot about the one or more axes of the robot and the rotational displacement of the wheel portion, and thus the robot, about the supplemental axis.
