Abstract		Robot performace criteria of position repeatability are studied. Weight-to-payload ratio found in manipulating robots is significantly higher as in human operator. Bracing strategy for improving the robot performances is introduced. The strategy copies human behavior during fine motion operations. A comparison is made between the robot and the human operator performing approximately the same manipulating task. Contactless measurements of position repeatability were accomplished with the OPTOTRAK motion analysis system. The results of tests represent satisfying improvement of robot's and human operator's position repeatability when using bracing.
