Abstract

The concept of kinematic influence coefficient (KIC) of mechanism was proposed by Tesar et al. [1–4]. Benedict and Tesar [1, 2] proposed a completely general model formulation using first- and second-order KIC. This theory has been extensively applied to both open-loop and closed-loop planar mechanisms [3]. Thomas and Tesar [4] further developed this theory into a spatial serial manipulator. Huang [5, 6] has further developed to modern parallel mechanisms.
