Positioning is the act of moving an object from its present location or orientation in space, to some other location or orientation. Most real-world situations have a few additional requirements. For example, the object will have mass, and the positioning system will have friction. It may be necessary to maintain a fixed position while external forces are applied, or acceleration and velocity may need to be constrained. Any positioning application requires an actuator -- a device that provides the forces necessary to accomplish motion. A typical positioning task might require that parts be moved on an assembly conveyer and then deposited near a worker.
