FK: Forward Kinematics
Refers to the use of axis angles to compute the position of the end-effector
IK: Inverse Kinematics
Refers to the use of kinematic equations (i.e. "IK solver"), to determine the
axis angles of a robot, given the position of the robot's end-effector in
relation to its base frame
TCP: Tool Center Point
Refers to the point in relation to which all robot positioning is defined.
If the tool on the end of the robot is a marker, for instance, the TCP would
