Synopsis
Explore how shapes drive motion in mechanisms with a configuration-space approach.
This book introduces a first-principles framework for designing mechanical components by linking geometry to kinematic behavior. It focuses on how to create and modify shapes to achieve desired motions, moving beyond fixed libraries and routine design.
The discussion centers on kinematic pairs, simple and composite, and shows how to reason about shape, contacts, and motion in two-dimensional space. It presents theory, algorithms, and design schemes that turn the geometry of objects into predictable, programmable behavior, helping readers understand both the challenges and solutions in innovative mechanical design.- Learn the difference between routine design and innovative design for mechanisms.
- See how configuration spaces relate object shapes to their motions and constraints.
- Explore design strategies for convex and concave shapes and their configuration spaces.
- Discover algorithms that guide the creation and modification of component geometry to meet requirements.
