The volume area between a minimum reach and a maximum reach

where the manipulator can move.

The set of all end point positions in the space that are

reachable by the end-effector.

The set of angles in which each joint should be to move the

manipulator and the end-effector to the desired location.

The space described with the angles/values of the joint 

 to control the trajectory

of the arm.

Manipulation planning refers to planning a suitable way in

which the manipulator can grasp an object in the workspace.

If I know the coordinate in the workspace of the manipulator

that I want the end-effector to reach, I need to calculate the joint angles to

get there with inverse kinematics.

If I know the configuration of the arm and want to calculate

the coordinates in the jointspace, I need to apply forward kinematics.

Kinematics deals with the study of motion of the arm based on

geometric description considering the forces acting on the robot structure that

cause the motion.
