Using KDL/TRAC-IK for UR5 Inverse Kinematics (IK)

To demonstrate solving the inverse kinematics for the UR5 robot arm using KDL/TRAC-IK, follow these steps:

1. Start RVIZ and GAZEBO:

   roslaunch ur_gripper_gazebo ur5_bringup_with_rviz.launch 

2. Launch the control node:

   rosrun ur5_kdl_control ur5_kdl_ik_solver

3. In RVIZ, right-click on the MARK coordinates and choose 'Solve IK' from the context menu to solve the inverse kinematics. This will allow you to control the robot arm's end effector to move to the target pose.
