Robot Kinematics

Robot kinematics is the study of how a robot's parts move and relate to each other without considering forces or energy. It involves understanding the positions, angles, and velocities of the robot's joints and end effectors (like a hand or tool) based on specific commands. Essentially, it maps out how to move each part so the robot can reach desired locations or perform tasks accurately. This discipline helps engineers design and control robotic systems, ensuring they move precisely and efficiently in real-world applications.
