Joint	关节接合处	The part of a robot arm permitting either rotational or translational motion. Each joint provides a single degree of freedom, and thus a minimum of six is required if the robot is to be able to position and orientate the end effector anywhere within the workspace.

The joint angle is the angle between an extrapolation of the previous link length and the present link length, measured positive anticlockwise in a plane normal to the joint axis. This is variable in a rotational joint and fixed in a translational joint. The joint offset is the distance between the link length for the previous link and that for the present link, measured along the joint axis. This is variable for a translational joint and fixed for a rotational joint. The joint twist for the nth joint is the angle between the axes of joints Jn and Jn+1, measured positive anticlockwise in a plane normal to the link length and viewed from the position of the Jn+1 joint. The link length is the mutually perpendicular distance between planes passing through the axes of joint Jn and Jn+1. Both the joint twist and link length are fixed in all joints. 机器人手臂上允许旋转或平移运动的部分。每个接合处都有自由度，如果机器人要能够在工作空间内的任何位置定位和定向末端执行器，则至少需要六个接合处具有自由度。关节接合处由四个参数描述：关节角度、关节偏移、关节扭曲和链接长度。关节角度是在垂直于关节轴的平面内逆时针测量的先前连杆长度和当前连杆长度的外推之间的角度。这在旋转关节中是可变的，在平移关节中是固定的。关节偏移是沿关节轴测量的前一个连杆和当前连杆的连杆长度之间的距离。这对于平移关节是可变的，对于旋转关节是固定的。第n个关节的关节扭曲是关节Jn和Jn+1轴之间的角度，在垂直于连杆长度的平面内逆时针测量，从Jn+2关节的位置观察。连杆长度是穿过关节轴Jn和Jn+1的平面之间相互垂直的距离。关节扭曲和连杆长度在所有关节中都是固定的。

Elastic interactions	弹性相互作用	When a bolt is tightened it partially compresses the joint members ‘‘in its own neighborhood.’’ When nearby bolts are tightened later, they further compress the joint in this region. This allows the first bolt to relax a little (lose a little preload). Tightening bolts on the opposite side of the joint, however, might increase preload in some of the earlier bolts tightened on the near side. These shifts and changes in the elastic energy stored in individual bolts, during assembly, are called elastic interactions. 当螺栓拧紧时，它会“在其自身附近”部分压缩接头构件稍后拧紧附近的螺栓时，进一步压缩该区域的接头。这允许第一个螺栓稍微松弛（失去一点预载）。但拧紧接头另一侧的螺栓可能会增加早期在近侧拧紧的一些螺栓的预载。在装配过程中，储存在单个螺栓中的弹性能量的这些位移和变化称为弹性相互作用。
