Summary

In the previous chapters we learned how to analyze the kinematic characteristics of a given mechanism. We were given the design of a mechanism, and we studied ways to determine its mobility, its posture, its velocity, and its acceleration, and we even discussed its suitability for given types of tasks. However, we have said little about how the mechanism is designed – that is, how the sizes and shapes of the links are chosen by the designer.
