Notes
- 1.
Although this analysis is based on a relative large number of papers, it is not necessarily statistically significant. There are some reasons that could decrease the quality of the data base in terms of representation. The papers in the used data base reflect the author’s research interests and the selection may thereby be biased. Also, the assumptions on the used terminology influence the literature research. Furthermore, rarely cited publications might be overseen in the review of literature because of their differing terminology.

The mobile platform is sometimes called traveling platform or end-effector, although the end-effector is only the part that performs the actual process.
