Articulated

Articulated refers to something that is jointed or connected with a movable joint, allowing it to bend or adjust its shape.

• Definition: Jointed or having the ability to bend at a joint, often allowing for flexible movement between segments.
• Example: An articulated rod is composed of two or more segments connected by a joint, enabling the rod to change its shape from straight to various angles, including right angles.
• Applications: Articulated designs are common in various fields, such as machinery (e.g., robotic arms), vehicles (e.g., articulated lorries or buses), and mechanical linkages, where flexibility and adaptability are required.
