K

• Kalman filter, a mathematical technique to estimate the value of a sensor measurement, from a series of intermittent and noisy values.

• Kinematics, the study of motion, as applied to robots. This includes both the design of linkages to perform motion, their power, control and stability; also their planning, such as choosing a sequence of movements to achieve a broader task.

• Klann linkage, a simple linkage for walking robots.
