Type Synthesis Method and Procedure of Robotic Mechanism

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Finite and Instantaneous Screw Theory in Robotic Mechanism

Abstract

Topology of a robotic mechanism is also called its type, which denotes the mechanism’s basic structure including number and sequence of all joints in the mechanism, as well as the classifications and axes/directions of the joints. The type determines the motions and performances of the mechanism. Thus, type design is the prerequisite step in the innovation design of robotic mechanisms.
