Interface Joint

All Superinterfaces:

public interface Joint
extends PropertyChangeSource

A Joint represents the values and properties of a DoF (degree of freedom) of a Robot. A Joint provides the goal position, and various JointProperties. Joints are intended to provide read-only access to properties, however some JointProperties can support writing the property as well. Joints can not be moved directly, move commands must go through the Robot.
