Purpose of 6-DOF Joint in Robotic Architectures

5 views (last 30 days)
In MathWorks example robotic architectures, 6-DOF joint is used in Biped Robot and Quadruped Robot whereas it is not used in Humanoid Robot. So, what is the exact reason of usage of 6-DOF joint? What is its functionality? Is it inevitable to use 6-DOF joint for a moving architecture in 3D environment?

The 6-DOF Joint is typically used to set the initial position of the robot body. The initial positions of the arms, legs, or other parts will be set in the individual joints.
In some cases, the joint limits will be enabled to prevent the robot body from going through the floor.
