  2. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    In kinematics, a five-bar linkage is a mechanism with two degrees of freedom that is constructed from five links that are connected together in a closed chain. All links are connected to each other by five joints in series forming a loop. One of the links is the ground or base. [1] This configuration is also called a pantograph, [2][3] however ...

  3. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    Linkage mobility Locking pliers exemplify a four-bar, one degree of freedom mechanical linkage. The adjustable base pivot makes this a two degree-of-freedom five-bar linkage. It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar ...

  4. Jansen's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansen's_linkage

    Jansen's linkage is a planar leg mechanism designed by the kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen to generate a smooth walking motion. [ 1 ] Jansen has used his mechanism in a variety of kinetic sculptures which are known as Strandbeesten (Dutch for "beach beasts"). Jansen's linkage bears artistic as well as mechanical merit for its simulation of organic ...

  5. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Motor control is the regulation of movements in organisms that possess a nervous system. Motor control includes conscious voluntary movements, subconscious muscle memory and involuntary reflexes, [1] as well as instinctual taxis. To control movement, the nervous system must integrate multimodal sensory information (both from the external world ...

  7. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    t. e. In dynamical systems theory and control theory, a phase space or state space is a space in which all possible "states" of a dynamical system or a control system are represented, with each possible state corresponding to one unique point in the phase space. For mechanical systems, the phase space usually consists of all possible values of ...

  8. Multibody system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multibody_system

    Basically, the motion of bodies is described by their kinematic behavior. The dynamic behavior results from the equilibrium of applied forces and the rate of change of momentum. Nowadays, the term multibody system is related to a large number of engineering fields of research, especially in robotics and vehicle dynamics.

  9. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Four-bar linkage. In the study of mechanisms, a four-bar linkage, also called a four-bar, is the simplest closed- chain movable linkage. It consists of four bodies, called bars or links, connected in a loop by four joints. Generally, the joints are configured so the links move in parallel planes, and the assembly is called a planar four-bar ...
