kinematic chain

It is a test used often when analysing kinematic chains.

The links of the manipulator can be considered to form a kinematic chain.

Mechanisms and robots are examples of kinematic chains.

A linkage modeled as a network of rigid links and ideal joints is called a kinematic chain.

Kinematic chain refers to an assembly of rigid bodies connected by joints that is the mathematical model for a mechanical system.

A kinematic diagram is a schematic of the mechanical system that shows the kinematic chain.

An animated figure is modeled with a skeleton of rigid segments connected with joints, called a kinematic chain.

It is categorized as a modified Stephenson type III kinematic chain.

An armature is the name of the kinematic chains used in computer animation to simulate the motions of virtual human or animal characters.

Rigid bodies, or links, connected by kinematic pairs, or joints, are called kinematic chains.

The crane is a type of open kinematic chain, while the piston is part of a closed four-bar linkage.

Simple machines are elementary examples of kinematic chains that are used to model mechanical systems ranging from the steam engine to robot manipulators.

The terminus of the kinematic chain of the manipulator is called the end effector and it is analogous to the human hand.

A fundamental tool in robot kinematics is the kinematics equations of the kinematic chains that form the robot.

The degrees of freedom, or mobility, of a kinematic chain is the number of parameters that define the configuration of the chain.

The movement of a kinematic chain whether it is a robot or an animated character is modeled by the kinematics equations of the chain.

Inverse kinematics is an example of the kinematic analysis of a constrained system of rigid bodies, or kinematic chain.

The delta robot is a parallel robot, i.e. it consists of multiple kinematic chains interconnecting the base with the end-effector.

Robot kinematics - applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems.

Constraints on the machine are described by constraints on each kinematic pair, and the sequence of movements of pairs produces a kinematic chain.

Examples of kinematic chains: The planar one degree-of-freedom linkages assembled from N links and j hinged or sliding joints are:

The degree of freedom of a kinematic chain is computed from the number of links and the number and type of joints using the mobility formula.

A kinematic chain, in which one link is fixed or stationary, is called a mechanism, and a linkage designed to be stationary is called a structure.

Laser probes are used to detect the distance between the surface and the reference point on the end of the kinematic chain (i.e.: end of the Z-drive component).

The Chebychev-Grübler-Kutzbach criterion determines the degree of freedom of a kinematic chain, that is, a coupling of rigid bodies by means of mechanical constraints.
