1. A robot, comprising:
a robotic arm comprising:
a base with a base contact surface adapted and configured to mount the robotic arm to a stationary environment or mobile platform, and
an end-effector connected to the base by joints which can be adjusted by robotic arm joint drives such that the end-effector has at least five actuated degrees of freedom with respect to the base; and
a robot joint module comprising:
a first contact surface fastenable to the base contact surface,
a second contact surface configured for fastening the robot to the stationary environment or mobile platform,
wherein a hole pattern of the second contact surface corresponds to a hole pattern of the base contact surface for mounting the base to the stationary environment or mobile platform, and
at least one robot joint module drive configured for pivoting the first contact surface relative to the second contact surface about a pivot axis, whereby the end-effector has at least six actuated degrees of freedom with respect to the second contact surface.
