ENGR 5262G - Manipulator and Mechanism Design


This course is designed to teach students the necessary skills to design or synthesize mechanisms and manipulators to perform desired tasks. Topics covered include synthesis of mechanisms for function generation, path generation and rigid body guidance; graphical, analytical and optimization based methods of synthesis; mechanism cognates, Chebychev spacing, Burmister curves; manipulator joint layout synthesis for spatial positioning and orientation; conditions of singularity and uncertainty; and solution of nonlinear problems of kinetics involved in mechanism synthesis using compatibility equations, 1/2 angle substitutions and dialytic elimination.
Credit hours: 3
