Robot Kinematics is the motion of robots. There are two types of kinematics. Forwad and Inverse kinematics.

Forward Kinematics: It is the computation of the position and orientation of robot's end-effectors as a function of its joint angles. Given a particular set of orientation joint angles, we aspire to move a robot to a certain unknown point.


Inverse Kinematics:Inverse kinematics is a subdomain of kinematics, which is of particular interest in robotics and (interactive) computer animation. In contrast to forward kinematics, which calculates the position of a body after a series of motions, inverse kinematics calculates the motions necessary to achieve a desired position.

Course on Robotics will not be complete without understanding the control systems used in motion and force control of robots. Experiments on simple motion control of single axis system to that of multi-axis control will be designed and shown with linear and non-linear control methodologies.
