From Tekkotsu Wiki

The DisplayKinTree demo displays the robot's kinematic tree on the console. This will show you the names of all the joints, and how the model of the robot is structured in Mirage or the DH Wizard. The kinematic definition is taken from the .kin file in the project/ms/config directory, e.g,, for the Calliope robot the file is project/ms/config/Calliope.kin.

Robot type: all robots.

Where to find the demo: Root Control > Framework Demos > Kinematics Demos > DisplayKinTree

Running the Demo

Activate the demo by using the ControllerGUI. Check the Tekkotsu console to see the output.
