  2. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    This provides a direct relationship between actuator positions and the configuration of the manipulator defined by its forward and inverse kinematics. Robot arms are described by their degrees of freedom. This is a practical metric, in contrast to the abstract definition of degrees of freedom which measures the aggregate positioning capability ...

  3. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)

    An articulated robot with six DOF in a kinematic chain. A system with several bodies would have a combined DOF that is the sum of the DOFs of the bodies, less the internal constraints they may have on relative motion. A mechanism or linkage containing a number of connected rigid bodies may have more than the degrees of freedom for a single ...

  4. Serial manipulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_manipulator

    An example of a serial manipulator with six DOF in a kinematic chain. In its most general form, a serial robot consists of a number of rigid links connected to joints. Simplicity considerations in manufacturing and control have led to robots with only revolute or prismatic joints and orthogonal, parallel and/or intersecting joint axes (instead ...

  5. Parallel manipulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_manipulator

    A manipulator can move an object with up to 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), determined by 3 translation 3T and 3 rotation 3R coordinates for full 3T3R mobility. However, when a manipulation task requires less than 6 DoF, the use of lower mobility manipulators, with fewer than 6 DoF, may bring advantages in terms of simpler architecture, easier control, faster motion and lower cost. [2]

  6. Industrial robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_robot

    A full parallel manipulator can move an object with up to 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), determined by 3 translation 3T and 3 rotation 3R coordinates for full 3T3R mobility. However, when a manipulation task requires less than 6 DoF, the use of lower mobility manipulators, with fewer than 6 DoF, may bring advantages in terms of simpler ...

  7. Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    An example of a simple open chain is a serial robot manipulator. These robotic systems are constructed from a series of links connected by six one degree-of-freedom revolute or prismatic joints, so the system has six degrees of freedom. An example of a simple closed chain is the RSSR spatial four-bar linkage.

  8. Articulated robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_robot

    A six-axis articulated welding robot reaching into a fixture to weld. An articulated robot is a robot with rotary joints [citation needed] that has 6 or more Degrees of Freedom. This is one of the most commonly used robots in industry today (many examples can be found from legged robots or industrial robots). Articulated robots can range from ...

  9. Robot kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_kinematics

    In robotics, robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems. [1] [2] The emphasis on geometry means that the links of the robot are modeled as rigid bodies and its joints are assumed to provide pure rotation or translation.
