Abstract

This paper presents a method for the number synthesis of planar kinematic chains with simple joints, which consists of systematic generation of possible contracted link-link adjacency matrices, detection of degenerate chains, and identification of isomorphic chains. Based on the proposed algorithm, a computer program is developed such that the catalogues of planar kinematic chains with the given number of links and degrees of freedom can be synthesized automatically. The number of kinematic chains with up to twelve links are listed.
