This paper describes a hybrid technique for performing inverse kinematics (IK) on redundant articulations with very high degree of freedom. Components from several different IK approaches are combined with special attention given to performance. Simulation of the algorithm on a personal computer can be done at interactive rates. Modifications to the standard IK approach are discussed and compared against previous approaches.
