Which task is simplified using inverse kinematics in robotic welding?

💡 Explanation

Inverse kinematics simplifies complex path planning by establishing a relationship translating Cartesian coordinates to joint angles; this allows controlled path-following with tool orientation, because it automates joint motion calculations, therefore enabling automated welding trajectories quicker, rather than planning each joint trajectory manually.
