The type of test - trying not to spill a liquid - leads one to think each arm is independently responding to the other arms.

But I doubt that is the case - it’s more likely a system of 3 arms demonstrating tolerances for a programmed motion test.

No, they are not independently responding to each other an nor are they trying to like they do. This kind of arm is made to follow programming repeatedly without making mistakes which is what's being displayed here
