Symbolic Methods in Kinematics

Designing mechanical devices, called linkages, that perform a prescribed motion has been a topic that interested engineers and mathematicians for hundreds of years.

We apply techniques from algebraic geometry and symbolic computation to various problems in this area, for example the classification of closed 6R linkages, the study of pentapods and hexapods, or the construction of planar linkages. In this context, the concept of motion polynomial and the theory of bonds have been developed, which are powerful tools to answer questions arising in kinematics.
