Reconfiguration Analysis and Characteristics of a Novel 8-Link Variable-DOF Planar Mechanism with Five Motion Modes

Variable-DOF (or kinematotropic) mechanisms are a class of reconfigurable mechanisms that have varying degrees of freedom (DOF) in different motion modes and can be reconfigured without disassembly. However, the number of proposed variable-DOF multi-loop planar mechanisms is currently limited. This...
