Trends in development of positioning mechanisms

Abstract

The role and position of analysis and synthesis of mechanisms in the current education and research. Task categories in the synthesis of mechanisms depending on the mission that mechanisms perform. The historical transition from scalar, vector, matrix, and quaternion formalism to the subgroup formalism. Application of the objective laws derived from development of technical systems in the case of development of positioning mechanisms. The parameterization, optimization and robust design. The evolution of technical systems by balancing of two opposite contradictory directions.
