  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. Cartesian parallel manipulators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Cartesian_parallel_manipulators

    Members of the Multipteron [8] family of manipulators have either 3, 4, 5 or 6 degrees of freedom (DoF). The Tripteron 3-DoF member has three translation degrees of freedom 3T DoF, with the subsequent members of the Multipteron family each adding a rotational R degree of freedom. Each member of the family has mutually perpendicular linear ...

  4. 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.

  5. Stewart platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_platform

    A Stewart platform is a type of parallel manipulator that has six prismatic actuators, commonly hydraulic jacks or electric linear actuators, attached in pairs to three positions on the platform's baseplate, crossing over to three mounting points on a top plate.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Forward kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_kinematics

    An articulated six DOF robotic arm uses forward kinematics to position the gripper. The forward kinematics equations define the trajectory of the end-effector of a PUMA robot reaching for parts. In robot kinematics , forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from ...

  8. Serial manipulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_manipulator

    Serial robots usually have six joints, because it requires at least six degrees of freedom to place a manipulated object in an arbitrary position and orientation in the workspace of the robot. A popular application for serial robots in today's industry is the pick-and-place assembly robot, called a SCARA robot, which has four degrees of freedom.

  9. Stanford arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_arm

    The Stanford arm is an industrial robot with six degrees of freedom, designed at Stanford University by Victor Scheinman in 1969. [1] The Stanford arm is a serial manipulator whose kinematic chain consists of two revolute joints at the base, a prismatic joint , and a spherical joint .
