Forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation.

@dsaksena: True. And as you saw in assignment 4, forward kinematics is much easier to implement than inverse kinematics! :-)
