Thank you all for your thoughts about the movement modes. Translating forces exact definitions. As Viesturs said, it is a good thing to explain these modes from time to time.
Right, "Gelenk" would be my fist choice to translate "joint", but it describes only the p o i n t where movement takes place, e.g., the ellbow or knee itself, not the arm or leg or even their ends (where the desired movement takes place), which is meant by LinuxCNC. I would not be glad with this expression, but still may have to stick with it - not too bad since "joint" in English also actually means a point where two pieces are "joined", not the extensions thereof. Gelenk is related to the verb "lenken" which means "to steer", and this comes close to what is happening in CNC. I will have to ponder about this before I dare setting standards in LinuxCNC.

I _think_ "Teleop" and "Joint mode" mean the same thing. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Better than sec?
