+function [P, R] = forwardKinematicsApprox(stewart, args)
+% forwardKinematicsApprox - Computed the approximate pose of {B} with respect to {A} from the length of each strut and using
+%                           the Jacobian Matrix
+%
+% Syntax: [P, R] = forwardKinematicsApprox(stewart, args)
+%
+% Inputs:
+%    - stewart - A structure with the following fields
+%        - J  [6x6] - The Jacobian Matrix
+%    - args - Can have the following fields:
+%        - dL [6x1] - Displacement of each strut [m]
+%
+% Outputs:
+%    - P  [3x1] - The estimated position of {B} with respect to {A}
+%    - R  [3x3] - The estimated rotation matrix that gives the orientation of {B} with respect to {A}
