A robot has a robotic arm, including a base with a base contact surface and an end-effector that is connected to the base by joints which can be adjusted by robotic arm joint drives such that the end-effector has at least five, and in particular at least six, actuated degrees of freedom with respect to the base. The robot further includes a robot joint module with a first contact surface that can be fastened—in particular, releasably—to the base contact surface, a second contact surface for fastening the robot to a stationary environment or mobile platform, and at least one robot joint module drive for pivoting the first contact surface relative to the second contact surface about a pivot axis, so that the end-effector has at least six, and in particular at least seven, actuated degrees of freedom with respect to the second contact surface, and in particular with respect to the stationary environment or mobile platform.
A robot, comprising:
A robot joint module for a robotic arm, the robotic arm having a base with a base contact surface adapted and configured to mount the robotic arm to a stationary environment or mobile platform, and an end-effector connected to the base by joints which can be adjusted by robotic arm joint drives such that the end-effector has at least five actuated degrees of freedom with respect to the base, the robot joint module comprising:
