Detailed Description

A planar mechanism used in the wing of the Smart Bird.

The dimensions of the mechanism are approximated and taken from this video.

This example can be processed as follows:

  • Generate the equations: Execute
  • Solve the positional analysis problem: Execute (this takes about half a minute)
  • Sort the solutions:
  • Visualize the solutions: This example has 8 different connected components and only one of them corresponds to the correct wing movement.
  • Visualize the configuration space: In the plot some of the connected compnents seems to intersect, but this is just an artifact of the projection
