Kinematic Chains

A kinematic chain is a series of connected parts or links, such as robotic arms or mechanical limbs, that move together to perform a task. Each link is connected by joints that allow motion, enabling complex movements like reaching or rotating. Think of it as a set of building blocks connected in a sequence, where moving one part affects the position and orientation of the others. Kinematic chains are fundamental in robotics and machinery to control precise movements and achieve desired positions or orientations efficiently.
