The Inverse Kinematics problem concerns finding the placement of a manipulator that satisfies certain conditions. In this paper apart from reaching the target point the manipulator is required to avoid a number of obstacles. The problem which we tackle is dynamic: the obstacles and the target point may be moving which necessitates the continuous update of the solution. The evolutionary algorithm used for this task is a modification of the Infeasibility Driven Evolutionary Algorithm (IDEA) augmented with a prediction mechanism based on the ARIMA model. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{evolutionary algorithm; dynamic function optimization; dynamic environment; inverse kinematics; time series prediction} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-28942-2\_55} \end
