A '''cartesian coordinate robot''' (also called '''linear robot''') is an [[industrial robot]] whose three [[principal axis (mechanics)|principal axes]] of control are linear (i.e. they move in a straight line rather than rotate) and are at [[right angle]]s to each other.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering for Advanced and Intelligent Manufacturing|last=Zhang|first=Dan|last2=Wei|first2=Bin|date=2016|publisher=Springer|year=|isbn=978-3-319-33580-3|___location=Cham|pages=31}}</ref> The three sliding joints correspond to moving the wrist up-down, in-out, back-forth. Among other advantages, this mechanical arrangement simplifies the [[Robot control]] [[arm solution]]. It has high reliability and precision when operating in three-dimensional space.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Advanced High Strength Steel And Press Hardening - Proceedings Of The 4th International Conference On Advanced High Strength Steel And Press Hardening (Ichsu2018)|last=Mingtu|first=Ma|last2=Yisheng|first2=Zhang|date=2018|publisher=World Scientific|year=|isbn=978-981-327-797-7|___location=Singapore|pages=526}}</ref> As a robot coordinate system, it is also effective for horizontal travel and for stacking bins.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Fundamentals of Robotics Engineering|last=Poole|first=Harry H.|date=2012|publisher=Van Nostrand Reinhold|year=|isbn=978-94-011-7052-9|___location=New York|pages=35}}</ref>
[[Cartesian coordinate]] robots with the horizontal member supported at both ends are sometimes called Gantry robots; mechanically, they resemble [[gantry crane]]s, although the latter are not generally robots. Gantry robots are often quite large.
