In this paper, a novel multi-mode mobile robot based on the Schatz linkage is proposed. The
robot consists of four Schatz linkages, which are distributed at the four corners of the robot …

While being extensively researched in literature, overconstrained linkages' engineering
potential is yet to be explored. This study investigates the design of overconstrained …

Abstract Space deployable structures are widely used in aerospace engineering, which
have been addressed new folding methods, such as spatial overconstrained linkages and …

Rigidly foldable origami tubes with open ends have been reported in the past. Here, using a
mechanism construction process, we show that these tubes can be used as building blocks …

This paper deals with the construction of a novel family of reconfigurable deployable Bricard-
like mechanisms with angulated elements (AEs). The reconfigurable dual AEs unit is …

This paper presents a general synthesis method for 1-DOF single-loop mechanisms (SLMs).
This method divides an SLM into two portions: one is a revolute pair and another is a branch …

This paper explores the feasibility of constructing mechanisms reconfigurable between 6R
and 4R overconstrained linkages. Spatial triangle and Bennett linkage are used as the …

Legged robot has attracted wide attention because of its outstanding mobility and flexibility
in the off‐road environment. Benefitting from the smooth foot trajectory and the discrete …

Kinematic singularities of linkages are configurations where the differential mobility
changes. Constraint singularities are critical points of the constraint mapping defining the …

In this study, a series of spatial single-loop overconstrained linkages (SLOLs) is synthesized
using Bennett linkages as the basic units. A set of 5R and 6R single-loop kinematic chains is …
