Issue
Kinematic calculations help to transform joint into cartesian values and vice versa.
But how to define the robot arm configuration (e.g. elbow up or elbow down) while sending the robot to a defined position in cartesian space?
Resolution
Using inverse kinematics the mendatory entry of a reference positions solves this issue.
