SIX DEGREES OF FREEDOM(6DOF) The six degrees of freedom: forward/back, up/down, left/right, yaw, pitch, roll 6DoF refers to the freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space . Specifically, the body is free to change position as forward/backward, up/down , left/right translation in three perpendicular axes combined with changes in orientation through rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed yaw , pitch, and roll. Six degree of freedom consists of the following movement: Translation – Moving along the different axes X, Y and Z Moving up and down along the Y axis is called heaving. Moving forwards and backwards along the X axis is called surging. Moving left and right along the Z axis is called swaying. Rotation – Turning in order to face a different axis Moving between X and Y is ca...
