Articulated robot

A six-axis articulated welding robot reaching into a fixture to weld

An articulated robot is a robot with rotary joints [citation needed] that has 6 or more Degrees of Freedom[citation needed] . This is one of the most commonly used robots in industry today (many examples can be found from legged robots or industrial robots). Articulated robots can range from simple 6 Degree of Freedom structures to systems with 10 or more interacting joints and materials. 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]
