    1. With a kinematics-only model, position control is the only option

      I think early cobots cheated this by closely monitoring the position and maintaining slower speeds. Larger industrial robots do this too, but they had more mass in the arm and moved at higher speeds.

    2. The configuration space is not the workspace,

      I might not be intuitively understanding the contrast. Is the idea that a configuration space may include points that aren't permitted to the workspace due to limitations such as:

      • Joint collisions
      • Obstacles such as walls

      Or is the configuration space something more abstract than a simple comparison of what a robot could access vs. what is accessible?
