In this paper a repeatable inverse kinematic task was solved via an approximation of a pseudo-inverse Jacobian matrix of a robot manipulator. An entry configuration to the task was optimized and a task-dependent definition of an approximation region, in a configuration space, was utilized. As a side effect, a relationship between manipulability and optimally augmented forward kinematics was established and independence of approximation task solutions on rotations in augmented components of kinematics was proved. A simulation study was performed on planar pendula manipulators. It was demonstrated that selection of an initial configuration to the repeatable inverse kinematic task heavily impacts solvability of the task and its quality. Some remarks on a formulation of the approximation task and its numerical aspects were also provided.
