What it does
- Computes joint angles so the end effector reaches a given (x, y) position, with up to 3 degrees of freedom.
- Adding a rotating base extends movement to (x, y, z) coordinates with up to 4 degrees of freedom.
- Lets you specify a desired end effector angle, useful for picking objects from different orientations.
- Allows adjusting the gripping offset to suit a chosen gripper or approach objects from specific angles.
- Described as as fast as analytical solvers while allowing arbitrary joint configurations.
