<robotics> The number of independent parameters required to
specify the position and orientation of an object. Often used
to classify robot arms. For example, an arm with six
degrees of freedom could reach any position close enough and
could orient it's end effector (grip or tool etc.) at any
angle about the three perpendicular axes.
