Define DOF. Draw and explain six degrees of freedom.

1 Answer

Answer :

DOF: Degree of freedom is a term used to describe a robot’s freedom of motion in 3 dimensional spaces specifically the ability to move forward and backward, up and down, left and right. For each DOF a joint is required. Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) refers to the freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space. Specifically, the body is free to change position as forward/backward (surge), up/down (heave), left/right (sway) translation in three perpendicular axes, combined with changes in orientation through rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed yaw (normal axis), pitch (lateral axis), and roll (longitudinal axis).
