Advantages of articulated robots:
1. It has a high degree of freedom, 5-6 axes, and is suitable for almost any trajectory or angle of work
2. It can be freely programmed to complete fully automated work
3. Improve production efficiency and controllable error rate
4. Replace many complex tasks that are not suitable for human completion and harmful to health, such as spot welding of automobile shells
Disadvantages of articulated robots:
1. The price is high, resulting in a high cost of initial investment
2. A lot of preparation work before production, for example, the programming and computer simulation process takes a long time
Articulated robots are similar to human arms in that they are able to move as flexibly as a human hand. For example, when encountering obstacles, the multi-joint robot can bypass the obstacle to reach the target, which is difficult for general polar coordinates or cylindrical coordinate industrial robots. For example, when certain special movements (crank movements) are required, multi-articulated robots are also easier to complete. Articulated robots can also move from one point to another in the least amount of time that a human hand can do. If a multi-articulated robot is equipped with haptic and force sensors on its hands and wrists, it can do more and more complex work.

Universal Robots – an introduction to the features of the robot control system
(1) The control of the robot is closely related to the kinematics and dynamics of the mechanism. The state of the robot hand and foot can be described under various coordinates, and the reference coordinate system should be selected according to the specific needs, and the appropriate coordinate transformation should be done. There is often a need for forward kinematics and anti-kinematics.
