1. A method of transferring a body between a motion stage and a docking system, said method comprising:
- positioning said body between said motion stage and said docking system, with said motion stage being spaced-apart from said docking system a distance; and
transferring a coupling of said body between said motion stage and said docking system, with said distance being established to minimize a probability of a collision between any of said docking system, said motion stage and said body while transferring said body between said docking system and said motion stage.

Abstract
The present is directed towards a method of transferring a body between a motion stage and a docking system, the method including, inter alia, positioning the body between the motion stage and the docking system, with the motion stage being spaced-apart from the docking system a distance; and transferring a coupling of the body between the motion stage and the docking system, with the distance being established to minimize a probability of a collision between any of the docking system, the motion stage and the body while transferring the body between the docking system and the motion stage.

10. A method of transferring a body between a motion stage and a docking system, said method comprising:
-
positioning said body between said motion stage and said docking system, with said motion stage being spaced-apart from said docking system a distance; and
transferring a coupling of said body between said motion stage and said docking system, with said distance being established to minimize a kinetic energy present while transferring said body between said docking system and said motion stage. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of transferring a body between a motion stage and a docking system, said method comprising:
-
positioning said motion stage to be spaced-apart from said body a first distance, with said body being coupled to said docking system;
translating said body toward said motion stage a second distance, said second distance being substantially equal to said first distance; and
coupling said body to said motion stage. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
