Geometric Design of Linkages by J Michael Mccarthy
This book is an introduction to the mathematical theory of design for articulated mechanical systems known as linkages. Robot manipulators, walking machines, and mechanical hands are examples of articulated mechanical systems that rely on simple mechanical constraints to provide a complex workspace for the end- effector.From the reviews of the second edition:
"..I found the author had provided an excellent text that enabled me to come to terms with the subject. Readers with an interest in the area will find the volume rewarding." -The Mathematical Gazette (2001)
“The book to review is the most extensive source of the synthesis side, containing all the theoretical basics needed for the design of planar, spherical and spatial linkages. … this book is a real guide from the very beginnings of synthesis of simple mechanisms to the latest, theoretically involved results in the synthesis of multi-loop planar, spherical and spatial linkages.” (Manfred Husty, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1227, 2012)
