  2. Six degrees of freedom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom

    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.

  3. Motion simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_simulator

    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 ]

  4. 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.

  5. Freedom and constraint topologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_and_constraint...

    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.

  6. Multibody system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibody_system

    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.

  7. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    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 (revolute-spherical-spherical-revolute) spatial four-bar linkage.

    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.

  9. Full motion racing simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_motion_racing_simulator

    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.
