A supportive, lightweight athletic shoe construction is described which includes an inflatable upper and a sole. The upper includes a foot conforming support member, an inflatable exoskeleton and an overlay which inhibits outward bulging of the exoskeleton. The sole includes a rigid carrier element, a forefoot unit and a heel unit. The forefoot unit includes a plurality of components which are arranged to work with the biomechanics of the foot. The athletic shoe is structurally minimalistic and functionally efficient.

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguration guide is arched. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the end effector comprises a machining tool. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the base is connected to the frame such that the orientation of the machining tool is reconfigurable. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguration guide comprises two orthogonal reconfiguration guides on the frame. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the reconfiguration guide comprises at least one curved reconfiguration guide on the frame. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further including a controller operably coupled to the first and second slides. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the controller comprises a teach pendant. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a table for supporting a workpiece, the table being linearly actuated along a third axis, the third axis being orthogonal to the first and second axes. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first driving connector comprises two parallel links. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second driving connector comprises four parallel links. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the end-effector is a gripper. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the gripper is operable to hold a workpiece in a first position during transport from first machine station to a second machine station along the first axis and to release the workpiece in a second position at the second machine station. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the end-effector is a drilling tool. 15. An apparatus comprising: a frame; first and second linearly-actuated slides supported on a base connected to the frame, wherein the first and second slides are movable along a line defining a first axis; a mobile platform; a first driving connector movably coupled to the first slide and to the mobile platform, and a second driving connector movably coupled to the second slide and to the mobile platform, such that the mobile platform is displaceable within at least two degrees of freedom defined by linear motions along the first axis and a second axis, the second axis being coplanar and orthogonal to the fist axis; a first guiding connector and a second guiding connector, wherein the first and second guiding connectors are each movably coupled to the mobile platform and to the base; and an end effector coupled to the mobile platform, the end effector having an axis aligned in a direction defined by the second axis. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein each of the first and second guiding connectors comprises two links, and each link is articulated. 17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the two links of at least one of the first and second guiding connectors are connected by a rod. 18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the base is connected to a reconfiguration guide on the frame.
