<description>The type of joint, which must be one of the following:
(continuous) a hinge joint that rotates on a single axis with a continuous range of motion,
(revolute) a hinge joint that rotates on a single axis with a fixed range of motion,
(gearbox) geared revolute joints,
(revolute2) same as two revolute joints connected in series,
(prismatic) a sliding joint that slides along an axis with a limited range specified by upper and lower limits,
(ball) a ball and socket joint,
(screw) a single degree of freedom joint with coupled sliding and rotational motion,
