Ensure the stability and rigidity of the overall structure.
2. Joints/Actors
Definition: The moving parts that enable a robot to move.
• Type:
Electric Motors: used for rotational motion.
Hydraulic actuators: used for movements that require high torque.
Pneumatic actuators: used for movements that require rapid response.
Servo Motors: used for high-precision positioning.
• Function:
