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 ...

Abstract: We use the recently introduced factorization of motion polynomials for constructing overconstrained spatial linkages with a straightline trajectory. Unlike previous examples of such linkages by other authors, they are ...

Abstract: We use the recently introduced factorization theory of motion polynomials over the dual quaternions and cubic interpolation on quadrics for the synthesis of closed kinematic loops with six revolute joints that visit four ...
