What it does
- Solves inverse and forward kinematics for the robot's legs.
- Simulates ripple and tripod walking gaits.
- Simulates walking forward and backward, and rotating clockwise and counterclockwise.
- Lets you adjust the robot's dimensions, orientation, translation, and stance.
- Shows the angles of the robot's eighteen joints at any pose in real time.
- Uses only JavaScript's built-in Math object, with no external math library.

Robots that can run it
No robot on Robotheca is linked to it yet. Links come from a robot's robot.yaml, from its dependency files read as text, or from Robotheca's editors.
Robotheca lists software as a reference: nothing is hosted or run here, and every fact links to where it was read.
