Articulated robot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An articulated robot is a robot with rotary joints (e.g. a legged robot). Articulated robots can range from simple two-jointed structures to systems with 10 or more interacting joints. They are powered by a variety of means, including electric motors.

Some types of robots, such as robotic arms, can be articulated or non-articulated. ^{[1] [2]}
