Explanation:

Industrial robots are defined by the characteristics of their control systems, manipulator or arm geometry, modes of operation etc.

The term degree of freedom as applied to a robot indicates the number of its axes, an important indicator of a robot's capability. Limited sequence robots have two or three axes only while unlimited sequence robots typically have five or six-axes to perform more complex tasks.

The basic manipulator arm might have only three axes:

Arm sweep: It provides anti-clockwise and clockwise rotation about the vertical axis.

Shoulder swivel: It provides the arm to pitch up and down about a horizontal shoulder axis.

Elbow extension: It provides the arm to pitch up and down about a horizontal elbow axis.
