Truss-Walking Robotic Arm (2D)

2D canvas model of a two-ended truss-walking manipulator: click lattice nodes to draw a path, then watch a real 3-link inverse-kinematics chain leapfrog hand-over-hand along it, alternating anchored and swinging grippers.

A 2D canvas counterpart to the 3D Canadarm2-style manipulator: a Warren-truss lattice of grapple nodes you click to draw a walking path, and a real 3-link inverse-kinematics chain that leapfrogs hand-over-hand along it — one gripper anchored while the other swings, verified against forward kinematics at every step, with a damped tip-vibration model gating when it's actually safe to latch.

⚙ Under the hood

Draw a path on a lattice grid, and watch the robotic arm walk hand-over-hand from node to node, latching and swinging like Canadarm2.
