flerleddede

Flerleddede is a Swedish term that translates to "multi-jointed" or "articulated" in English. It is commonly used to describe objects or mechanisms that possess multiple hinges or pivot points, allowing for a wide range of motion and flexibility. This characteristic is often essential for functionality in various applications, enabling movement and adaptation to different shapes or positions.

Examples of flerleddede objects can be found in everyday life. Furniture, such as adjustable chairs or tables with extendable arms, often employs flerleddede designs. Tools like pliers or wrenches, which need to grip and manipulate objects of varying sizes, also utilize multiple joints. In more complex engineering, robotic arms and articulated excavators are prime examples of sophisticated flerleddede systems, designed for precision and versatility in movement. The design principle of being flerleddede allows these items to perform tasks that would be impossible with rigid, single-piece structures. This flexibility often comes from the careful arrangement and interconnection of individual segments, each connected by a joint that allows relative rotation.
