| Kinematics is the process of calculating the position in space of the end of a linked structure, given the angles of all the joints. It is easy, and there is only one solution. Inverse Kinematics does the reverse. Given the end point of the structure, what angles do the joints need to be in the achieve that end point. It can be difficult, and there are usually many or infinitely many solutions. | ] is the process of calculating the position in space of the end of a linked structure, given the angles of all the joints.
