What does forward kinematics mean?
Working out how a robot moves from the commands sent to it: command to velocity in the body frame, rotated into the world frame, then added up over time to give position.
In a lesson
Forward kinematics answers: given the commands, where does the robot end up? It is the model of the machine, and it runs in three stages.
