What are the four main motion types, and how does the robot move during each?

What will be an ideal response?


There are four primary motion types in robotics, joint, linear, circular, and weave. Joint motion is point-to-point motion where all the axes involved move either as fast as they can or at the speed of the slowest axis with no correlation between the separate axes involved. Linear motion is where the controller moves all the axes involved at set speeds to insure straight-line motion. Circular motion is the formation of arcs and full circles as described by no less than three points. Weave motion is straight line or circular motion that moves from side to side in an angular fashion while the whole unit moves from one point to another.
