3. FORWARD AND INVERSE KINEMATICS
To come up with inverse kinematics equations, we
have to first find the forward kinematics equations
of the robot.
Forward kinematics: all joints variables including
arm length, angles are known in this case and we
have to determine where the robot’s hand is.
Inverse kinematics: given the desired position of
the robot’s hand, what must be the angles at all of
the robots joints
