  2. Prismatic joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prismatic_joint

    A prismatic joint is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair [1] which constrains the motion of two bodies to sliding along a common axis, without rotation; for this reason it is often called a slider (as in the slider-crank linkage) or a sliding pair. They are often utilized in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. [2]

  3. Line representations in robotics - Wikipedia

    They model joint axes: a revolute joint makes any connected rigid body rotate about the line of its axis; a prismatic joint makes the connected rigid body translate along its axis line. They model edges of the polyhedral objects used in many task planners or sensor processing modules.

  4. Articulated soft robotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_soft_robotics

    Articulated Soft Robots are robots with both soft and rigid parts, inspired to the muscloloskeletal system of vertebrate animals – from reptiles to birds to mammalians to humans. Compliance is typically concentrated in actuators, transmission and joints (corresponding to muscles, tendons and articulations) while structural stability is ...

  5. Robotic arm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_arm

    It is a robot whose arm has at least three rotary joints. Parallel robot: One use is a mobile platform handling cockpit flight simulators. It is a robot whose arms have concurrent prismatic or rotary joints. Anthropomorphic robot: It is shaped in a way that resembles a human hand, i.e. with independent fingers and thumbs.

  6. Kinematic pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_pair

    Repeated joints may be summarized by their number; so that joint notation for the SCARA robot can also be written 2RP for example. Joint notation for the parallel Gough-Stewart mechanism is 6-UPS or 6(UPS) indicating that it is composed of six identical serial limbs, each one composed of a universal U, active prismatic P and spherical S joint.

  7. Cartesian coordinate robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_robot

    Cartesian coordinate robots are controlled by mutually perpendicular active prismatic P joints that are aligned with the X, Y, Z axes of a Cartesian coordinate system. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Although not strictly ‘robots’, other types of manipulators , such as computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines, 3D printers or pen plotters , also have the ...

  8. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    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.
