Hi Rich, > ps: Three or more axes? I know x, y, and z. What are the additional axes?
I've heard about six axes robots. I think they are the three translational axes, i.e. left/right, up/down, back/forth, and the three rotational axes which may not be aligned with the translational axes. Think your shoulder and arm give you the three translational movement, and your wrist gives you limited rotational movement. So a six degree robot is super human:) On July 22, 2016 2:29:05 PM PDT, Richard Nute <[email protected]> wrote: > > >ISO 8373 defines robot as "An automatically controlled, reprogrammable, >multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which may >be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation >applications." > > > >My Roomba doesn’t fit this definition.
