Inverse Kinematics (IK) plays a critical role in robotic motion planning and control. The IK solutions of a robot manipulator could be done by conventional ways such as geometric, algebraic, or Jacobian methods, which have drawbacks. The Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have become a promising alternative for approximating IK solutions due to their generalization ability and computational efficiency. This approach basically trains only a few samples of the end effector that are recorded for the solution of the IK problem. However, a fundamental question remains: how many training samples are sufficient to achieve reliable and accurate IK predictions? This study investigates the mathematical framework of relating the size of training datasets and the accuracy of ANN-based IK solvers. Using an articulated robotic manipulator, we generate varying amounts of joint-position pairs to train feedforward neural networks and assess their accuracy, convergence, and generalization capability. The results reveal more training samples than 125 did not contribute to the improvement of the model efficiency that the comparable measure dealing with the approximation accuracy over the sampling size, offering valuable insight into data efficiency. This work provides practical guidance for optimizing the data sizing of ANN solutions, balancing computational cost and model accuracy for real-world robotic applications.
