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 of a system. [3] In 2007, Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway, unveiled a prototype robotic arm [4] with 14 degrees of freedom for DARPA.
A motion platform base for a simulator giving all six degrees of freedom to a simulator mounted on the base plate, using six jacks, generally known as a hexapod A motion simulator or motion platform is a mechanism that creates the feelings of being in a real motion environment. [ 1 ]
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.
In the case of planar motion, a body has only three degrees of freedom with only one rotational and two translational degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom in planar motion can be easily demonstrated using a computer mouse. The degrees of freedom are: left-right, forward-backward and the rotation about the vertical axis.
Freedom and constraint topologies (a.k.a., freedom, actuation, and constraint topologies; or simply FACT) [1] [2] [3] is a mechanical design framework developed by Dr. Jonathan B. Hopkins. The framework offers a library of vector spaces with visual representations to guide the analysis and synthesis of flexible systems.
HPPS are used in many manufacturing processes to move an object (tool or part) smoothly and accurately in six degrees of freedom, along a desired path, at a desired orientation, with high acceleration, high deceleration, high velocity and low settling time. It is designed to quickly stop its motion and accurately place the moving object at its ...
Full motion racing simulator with all 6 degrees of freedom. A full motion racing simulator, sometimes called a full motion sim rig, is a motion simulator that is purposed for racing, and must provide motion simulation in all six degrees of freedom, as defined by the aviation simulator industry many decades ago.
