TermDescription
teach pendantThe pendant attached to the robot, used for teaching and controlling the robot
SDKSoftware Development Kit, used for programming and controlling the robot
robot networkThe network connection between the robot and the external computer
controllerThe control unit of the robot, responsible for executing motion commands, processing sensor data, and managing robot status
robotic armThe main moving part of the robot, consisting of multiple joints and links
servo systemThe motor drive system that controls robot joint motion, providing precise position and speed control
teachingThe process of recording robot motion trajectories and actions through manual operation of the robot or teach pendant
jointThe movable component connecting various links in the robot arm, each joint corresponding to one degree of freedom
Cartesian coordinatesA three-dimensional coordinate system based on three mutually perpendicular X, Y, Z axes, used to describe the robot's position and orientation in space
poseThe combination of the robot's position and orientation in space, including position coordinates and rotation angles
trajectoryThe path of the robot's end effector moving in space, usually composed of a series of pose points
payloadThe weight and objects carried by the robot's end effector, affecting the robot's motion performance and accuracy
coordinate systemA reference system used to describe robot position and orientation, including base coordinate system, tool coordinate system, user coordinate system, etc.
