This lecture discusses the "inverse kinematic" solution to the parallel robot constructed in the class. This means that, given a desired position of the triangular moving platform, what angle do the legs of the robot have to be positioned to? While involving some multi-step geometrical reasoning, the solution is mostly straightforward. 

Most of the math reasoning required to follow this lecture is introduced in the math overview lecture.
