Synopsis
This book presents a systematic theory for automated design of elementary kinematic pairs. It details a novel methodology for designing or modifying shapes of objects in kinematic pairs, building upon the author's previous work on first principles of shape and kinematic function. Unlike previous work, the author broadens the scope to cases where the desired behavior is given in qualitative or causal terms. The book includes analysis of the kinematic behavior of a given mechanism, the design of new mechanisms, and redesign of existing mechanisms to achieve a desired kinematic behavior. The theory, based on configuration spaces, connects object geometry and kinematic behavior, enabling reasoning about the shape of objects and their relation to kinematic behavior. The author presents a general backtracking algorithm for the design of kinematic pairs, examining cases where both objects have translational degrees of freedom, as well as convex objects. This book is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in mechanical design, robotics, and related disciplines.
