This volume of workshop proceedings presents an overview of various aspects of robot kinematics, such as modelling and computation, analysis and design, motion planning and control, inverse kinematics calculations, kinematic redundancy and parallel mechanisms.
This volume includes a selection of papers presented at the second workshop on Robot Kinematics held in Linz, September 10-12, 1990. The papers present new results and overviews on various aspects of robot kinematics such as modelling and computation, analysis and design, motion planning and control, inverse kinematics calculations, kinematic redundancy, and parallel mechanisms. Special emphasis was put on the investigation of symbolic computation techniques for problems in robot kinematics.
