Manipulability

Manipulability refers to how easily a robotic arm or mechanical system can move or reorient its joints to achieve a desired position or task. It measures the system's ability to maneuver effectively within its environment. High manipulability means the robot can reach and move objects smoothly in various directions, while low manipulability indicates limited movement options or potential difficulty in performing certain tasks. This concept helps engineers design and control robots for optimal performance, ensuring they are agile, efficient, and capable of handling complex or precise operations.
