What kinematic equations are important for industrial robots?

April 30, 2025 By Jeff Shepard

A kinematic model is a mathematical representation of a robot’s motion that focuses on the geometric relationships between elements and ignores external forces that affect motion. Kinematic models are used for planning and controlling the paths of industrial robots.  Forward kinematics determines the current position and orientation of the end effector based on the angles […]
