FUNCTIONALITY (SPEC):

1. Satisfies minimum requirements from spec

   see video1.mp4

   • Solving an IK problem on an arm that consists of at least four links that are connected in a serial chain by ball joints.

   • The lengths of the segments must not all be the same: the longest segment must be at least twice the length of the shortest.

   • The root link should be attached to an immobile base by a ball joint.

   • The goal is to position the end of the arm at a specified goal point in 3D.

   • The solver should be robust to out-of-reach goals.

   • You may use the algorithm described in class or any other algorithm that produces good results.

Controls:

1. Arrow keys (Move Camera)

2. SpaceBar + Arrow Keys (Rotates Path)

Command line arguments:

N/A

FUNCTIONALITY (E/C):

1. joint limits

   see video2.mp4

2. other joints besides ball joints
