Degrees of freedom (DoF) in robotic manipulation count the independent joint motions that define a robot arm's configuration and the poses it can reach.
Forward kinematics computes the position and orientation of a robot's end effector from known joint values, using the geometry of the robot's links.
Grasp planning is the robotic manipulation process of choosing where and how a gripper or hand should hold an object so it can be lifted securely.
Inverse kinematics in robotics computes the joint angles a manipulator needs so that its end effector reaches a desired position and orientation.
Pick and place is the robot manipulation task of grasping an object at one location and releasing it at another, combining perception, grasping and motion.
A robot joint is the movable connection between two links of a robot arm, rotating or sliding under actuator control to give the arm its motion.
