Which outcome occurs during robotic arm movement planned using inverse kinematics when the joint angle solution is imaginary?

💡 Explanation

An imaginary solution output by inverse kinematics indicates the target is geometrically outside the robot's workspace, because a physical joint configuration cannot achieve those coordinates. Therefore, the target is unreachable, rather than issues internal to motors or program errors.
