Forward kinematics
If we model a robot as multiple links connected all together through rotating joints we get something like the following figure.
For simplicity the robot is represented with only two links but the following equations could be generalized to robot with more links. The robot is connected to the ground in A which we will define as $(0, 0)$. The length of each link will be represented by $l_1$, $l_2$ and so on.
