Robotics in Spanish
Arm, path, cycle time, guarding — what is said in a cell before it runs.
La pinza is the gripper at the end of the arm, and it is the same word as half a dozen English ones. Las pinzas are tweezers; la pinza de la ropa is a clothes peg; a crab carries pinzas, which English calls claws; and a dressmaker sews una pinza, which English calls a dart. The idea is always two things closing on one — pinzar is to pinch — and English scattered the same idea over five unrelated words, so that nobody learning it can guess the next one.
