Package Description
The ROS packages in this repository were created to provide an improved
alternative Inverse Kinematics solver to the popular inverse Jacobian
methods in KDL. TRAC-IK handles joint-limited chains better than KDL
without increasing solve time.

Package Description
The ROS packages in this repository were created to provide an improved
alternative Inverse Kinematics solver to the popular inverse Jacobian
methods in KDL. TRAC-IK handles joint-limited chains better than KDL
without increasing solve time.
