Vertex angle the sum of the interior angles is π("n" − 2) radians or 180("n" − 2) degrees. Because more than two lines in a polytope can intersect in the same space, the number of vertex angles from any given vertex is not always one. Because of this, it is sometimes necessary to specify not only the vertex, but also the specific line segments that make up the angle. Vertex angle In geometry, a vertex angle is an angle associated with a vertex of an n-dimensional polytope. Often a vertex angle of a polygon is referred to simply as an angle of
Six degrees of freedom the configuration of the manipulator defined by its forward and inverse kinematics. Robot arms are described by their degrees of freedom. This number typically refers to the number of single-axis rotational joints in the arm, where higher number indicates an increased flexibility in positioning a tool. This is a practical metric, in contrast to the abstract definition of degrees of freedom which measures the aggregate positioning capability of a system. In 2007, Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway, unveiled a prototype robotic arm with 14 degrees of freedom for DARPA. Humanoid robots typically have 30 or more degrees of freedom,
