Robot's Manipulators and Spatial Linkages: Computer Aided Simulation of Configurations, Trajectory Execution and Dynamic Parameters of Motion

传统上，机械设计是一个由富有创造力的工程师和设计师解决的创造性过程。最近对这一过程进行量化的努力取得了部分成功，但在设计最一般的三维机制的有效方案出现之前，仍有许多工作要做。本项目研究空间(三维)机构构型的模拟和识别的新方法。基于该方法的软件包被生成以供设计团体使用。

Mechanism design has traditionally been a creative process addressed by creative engineers and designers. Recent efforts to quantify the process have been partially successful but much remains to be done before efficient schemes become available for the design of the most general three-dimensional mechanisms. This project investigates new methods for the simulation and identification of spatial (three-dimensional) mechanism configurations. Software packages based on the method are generated for use by the design community.
