Generation occurs at run time;
A manipulator moves from its initial
position to a desired goal position in a
smooth manner.

, Introduction - A path description 𝑇𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎
Is to give a sequence of desired via points (intermediate
points between the initial and final positions).
I.e., the tool frame must pass through a set of intermediate
positions and orientations as described by the via points.
Each path point is usually specified in terms of a desired
{S
position and orientation of the tool frame, {T}, relative to }
the station frame, {S}.
Each of these via points is "converted" into a set of desired
joint angles by application of the inverse kinematics.
