Abstract: In this paper, we give a full classification of all pentapods with mobility 2, where neither all platform anchor points nor all base anchor points are located on a line. Therefore, this paper solves the famous Borel–Bricard ...

Abstract: In a foregoing publication, the authors studied pentapods with mobility 2, where neither all the platform anchor points nor all the base anchor points are located on a line. It turned out that the given classification is ...
