My armourbot figure animates in different sections only ?

I am new to animation in Daz Studio and I am trying to create a simple animation for an Armourbot figure. My animation using aniblocks causes the figure to move in different body sections only instead of the complete figure moving in unison. All I get is a very weirdly disjointed body with parts that are either animated or remaining perfectly still.
I feel sure that there must be a way to "glue" all the bodily parts together to make them move in unison but I have no idea what that is. Any adivise would be appreciated as I have reached the end of my frustration tolerance.
Thanks
