Constraint and Motion Analysis of a Hybrid Mechanism

Abstract:

The most basic understanding for a new mechanism is to realize its mobility. But there is little theory about mobility of hybrid mechanism in kinematics. Due to the complexity and particularity of hybrid mechanisms, the mobility of hybrid mechanisms cannot be obtained based on traditional methods. In the paper, the constraint and mobility of a dendritic-hybrid mechanism is analyzed based on screw theory. The complicated loops in the dendritic-hybrid mechanism are regarded as generalized kinematic chains, which can simplify the hybrid mechanism and correctly receive the number and characteristic of mobility.
