Matt’s Status Report for 2/8/25

I used this week to start working on coding the inverse kinematics equations for calculating/controlling the robot arm movement. I watched a couple videos on inverse kinematics for robotics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFE-zuD6jok&ab_channel=EngineerM, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5FUVzYCKM&ab_channel=KevinMcAleer), particularly on Python implementations. Using what I learned, I coded some initial inverse kinematics in Python, since we plan on using Matplotlib physics simulations to test while the robot arm is still being completed.
