Modern Robotics, Chapter 2.5: Task Space and Workspace

This is a video supplement to the book "Modern Robotics: Mechanics, Planning, and Control," by Kevin Lynch and Frank Park, Cambridge University Press 2017. See modernrobotics.org for information on the book, free software, and other materials.
This video introduces the task space, the space in which the robot's task can most naturally be expressed, and the workspace, a characterization of the reachable configurations of the end-effector.
This video is a brief summary of material from the book, and it is not meant to stand alone. For more details, such as an explanation of the notation, please consult the book and the other videos.
