Patent ID: 7057134

Claim:
A laser manipulation system for controllably moving a laser head relative to a surface of an inhabitable structure and irradiating the surface with laser light from the laser head, the laser manipulation system comprising: a positioning mechanism coupled to the laser head, the positioning mechanism comprising: a first-axis position system adapted to move the laser head along a first direction substantially parallel to the surface; and a second-axis position system coupled to the first-axis position system and adapted to move the laser head along a second direction substantially parallel to the surface; and an anchoring mechanism coupled to the positioning mechanism and releasably coupled to the structure, wherein the positioning mechanism is releasably coupled to the laser head, the second-axis position system is releasably coupled to the first-axis position system, and the anchoring mechanism is releasably coupled to the positioning mechanism, whereby the laser manipulation system can be reversibly assembled and disassembled to facilitate transportation of the laser manipulation system to locations within the structure.
