Joints Tool Example

Joint connections are generated by connecting parts in RoboCo, and determine how those two parts interact with each other. These connections can be altered using the Joints Tool to select and cycle through connections using the [Q] and [E] keys. The Joints Tool is located at the bottom of the RoboCo Interface.

⚙ Surface Joints

Name Description Example
Fixed A fixed attachment between parts
Rotate A rotating attachment between parts
Disconnected This indicates that there is no joint between selected parts

⚙ Rod Joints

Name Description Example
Slide A sliding attachment between a robot and another part
Slide and Rotate A sliding and rotating attachment between a rod and another part
Fixed A fixed attachment between a rod and another part
Rotate A rotating attachment between a rod and another point
Disconnected This indicates that there is no joint between a selected rod and part

⚙ Mechanical Joints

Name Description Example
Rotate A rotating attachment between a rod and DC motor Joints Mechanical Rotate.png
Rotate (with Angle Limits) A rotating attachment between a rod and Servo motor with angle limits Joints Mechanical Rotate Angles.png
