Kinematic Synthesis

Kinematic synthesis involves designing mechanisms that achieve specific movements or tasks. It combines principles of motion and geometry to create mechanical systems, such as linkages or gears, that convert one type of motion into another. For example, in a robotic arm, kinematic synthesis determines how each part should move to position the end of the arm accurately. Engineers use kinematic synthesis to ensure that machines can perform complex movements efficiently, enhancing their functionality in various applications, from manufacturing to robotics. Essentially, it’s about creating mechanical systems that move in desired ways.
