Star t with the linkage configuration defined by the set of angles:

...θ
n
(which we will write as Θ), and endpoint located at P,
i.e., at coordinate (x, y).
Apply the steps below to move the endpoint towards its goal
at P
g
(i.e., at :(x

))
Step 1:
Calculate the incremental step ΔX = P

Step 2:
Calculate J(θ

)
(use the current values of θ

etc.)
Step 3:
Find the inverse of J, which we will call J
J
= J

(if J is a 2 × n matrix, J
is a n × 2matrix)
Step 4:
Test for a valid convergence of the iteration:
if (I JJ
)ΔX > ε then the step towards the
goal (the ΔX) is too large, so set ΔX =
Δ
