Overview

Robot kinematics is the study of how robots move and position themselves in space. It involves understanding the relationships between the joints and links of a robot, allowing us to predict its motion. By learning robot kinematics, students can design better robots and improve their movements for various tasks. This foundational knowledge is essential for anyone interested in robotics and automation.
