An articulated robot is a robot with rotary joints [citation needed] that has 6 or more Degrees of Freedom. 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]
