Discussing the Essentials of Robotic Arms

Discussing the Essentials of Robotic Arms

The robotic arms we often refer to are typically articulated multi-degree-of-freedom robots resembling human arms. They consist of multiple driven joints connected in series through the mechanical structure of the robot body, allowing the end of the robot to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom motion in space. By installing actuators such as suction cups, grippers, or paint nozzles … Read more
