Kinematics is a central concept in robotics. It deals with the movement of robots, in particular with the analysis of their positions, velocities and accelerations. Kinematics deals with the geometric structure and movement properties of robots, independent of the forces acting on them. Kinematics makes it possible to calculate the movement of a robot based on its joint angles or coordinates. It is an important part of planning motion sequences, trajectory planning and controlling robots in various applications.
