Abstract
The theory to analyze the relationship between the position and attitude of a link and the joint angles of a mechanism is called Kinematics. It is the basis on which robotics is formed, but the exact same theory is used for computer graphics as well. Both require mathematics and algorithms which can clearly represent a moving object in 3D space.
