can we apply motion on a link ?

i know we can apply force on a link. but i need precision and calculating exact force for a desired motion is not possible for my problem.

so can we add motion to a link ? and if we can how?

Are you looking for inverse dynamics? e.g. by "motion" refers to kinematic states such as position, velocity and accelerations, and is the objective to obtain forces/torques necessary to achieve specified kinematic trajectory?

Ignore dynamics

If dynamics is not important to your application, you could try creating an animation. Check out this tutorial.

Another option which disregards dynamics is Joint::SetPosition.

With dynamics

If dynamics are important and you don't want to do the force computation, your best bet is probably to do PID using the JointController, but that requires tuning.

dynamic is important. actually i need to give joints specific angles and a PID follower wont do

I've updated the answer with an option with dynamics.

The PID seems to be the best option for you. With them, you can directly set angles to your joints (position PID vs velocity PID).
