Velocity Kinematics

The mathematical relationship between joint velocities and end-effector velocities, expressed through the Jacobian matrix. Velocity kinematics is essential for real-time Cartesian velocity control, teleoperation, and singularity analysis. The Jacobian maps joint velocities to Cartesian velocities (forward) and Cartesian velocity commands to joint velocities (inverse).
