  2. Jansen's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansen's_linkage

    Jansen's linkage bears artistic as well as mechanical merit for its simulation of organic walking motion using a simple rotary input. [2] These leg mechanisms have applications in mobile robotics and in gait analysis. [3] [4] The central 'crank' link moves in circles as it is actuated by a rotary actuator such as an electric motor.

  3. Chebyshev lambda linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_Lambda_Linkage

    In kinematics, the Chebyshev Lambda Linkage [1] is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion with approximate constant velocity. [2] It is so-named because it looks like a lowercase Greek letter lambda (λ). [ 3 ]

  4. MSC Adams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSC_Adams

    MSC ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) is a multibody dynamics simulation software system. It is currently owned by MSC Software Corporation. The simulation software solver runs mainly on Fortran and more recently C++ as well. [1] According to the publisher, Adams is the most widely used multibody dynamics simulation ...

  5. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    One of the links is the ground or base. [1] This configuration is also called a pantograph , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] however, it is not to be confused with the parallelogram -copying linkage pantograph . The linkage can be a one-degree-of-freedom mechanism if two gears are attached to two links and are meshed together, forming a geared five-bar mechanism.

  6. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Crank slider mechanisms with 0 and 1.25 eccentricity. A slider-crank linkage is a four-bar linkage with three revolute joints and one prismatic, or sliding, joint. The rotation of the crank drives the linear movement the slider, or the expansion of gases against a sliding piston in a cylinder can drive the rotation of the crank.

  7. Chebyshev linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_linkage

    Link 1 (horizontal distance between ground joints): 4a Illustration of the limits. In kinematics, Chebyshev's linkage is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate linear motion. It was invented by the 19th-century mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who studied theoretical problems in kinematic mechanisms.

  8. Robotics Toolbox for MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotics_Toolbox_for_MATLAB

    classical arm-type robotics: kinematics, dynamics, and trajectory generation. The Toolbox uses a very general method of representing the kinematics and dynamics of serial-link manipulators using Denavit-Hartenberg parameters or modified Denavit-Hartenberg parameters. These parameters are encapsulated in MATLAB objects.

  9. Inverse kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_kinematics

    Forward vs. inverse kinematics. In computer animation and robotics, inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of calculating the variable joint parameters needed to place the end of a kinematic chain, such as a robot manipulator or animation character's skeleton, in a given position and orientation relative to the start of the chain.
