Kinematic Chains

Quick fact

The human arm itself is a kinematic chain with the shoulder, elbow, and wrist as joints – and our entire body has over 200 degrees of freedom.

Why this is interesting

Ever wondered how a robotic arm can move with precision while a simple pair of scissors just opens and closes? Both rely on kinematic chains – the hidden skeletons that turn rigid parts into graceful motion.
