contents This paper revisits the numerical inverse kinematics (IK) problem, leveraging modern computational resources and refining the seed selection process to develop a solver that is competitive with analytical-based methods. The proposed seed selection strategy consists of three key stages: (1) utilizing a K-Dimensional Tree (KDTree) to identify seed candidates based on workspace proximity, (2) sorting candidates by joint space adjustment and attempting numerical iterations with the one requiring minimal adjustment, and (3) re-selecting the most distant joint configurations for new attempts in case of failures. The joint space adjustment-based seed selection increases the likelihood of rapid convergence, while the re-attempt strategy effectively helps circumvent local minima and joint limit constraints. Comparison results with both traditional numerical solvers and learning-based methods demonstrate the strengths of the proposed approach in terms of success rate, time efficiency, and accuracy. Additionally, we conduct detailed ablation studies to analyze the effects of various parameters and solver settings, providing practical insights for customization and optimization. The proposed method consistently exhibits high success rates and computational efficiency. It is suitable for time-sensitive applications.
