5. An alternative description is to use the kinematics concept of degree of freedom (DOF), described as "the number of parameters needed to specify the configuration of a mechanism, in terms of the number of links and joints and the freedom of movement allowed at each joint. This number is the degree of freedom or mobility of the mechanism. Changing the values of these parameters changes the configuration of the mechanism." from, J. M. McCarthy, Introduction to Theoretical Kinematics, MIT Press, Cambridge, 1990. A hard robot is said to have limited number of DOF.
