Answer

Robot anatomy refers to the physical structure of a robot, including its individual components and how they are arranged and interconnected. It includes joints, links, and other parts that help the ro…

Answer

Robot anatomy is important because the structure of a robot affects its movement, stability, durability, maintenance, and ability to do tasks. A good design helps the robot work efficiently and safely…

Answer

Motion planning is the process of breaking a desired movement task into discrete motions that satisfy movement constraints and may also optimize some part of the movement. It helps a robot choose a sa…

Answer

Linear motion is movement in a straight line. It is used when a robot part needs to move forward, backward, up, or down along one direction.

Answer

Rotary motion is motion around an axis. It is seen when a joint, wheel, or wrist turns to change direction or position.

Answer

Oscillatory motion is back-and-forth movement. It is similar to a pendulum or a vibrating part that moves to and fro.

Answer

Reciprocating motion is motion that alternates between two positions. A simple example is the movement of a piston in an engine.

Answer

Flexure motion happens through the bending or elastic deformation of a flexible material. It is useful where low friction, high precision, and low wear are needed.
