Linkage Synthesis

Linkage synthesis is a process engineers and designers use to create mechanical systems that move in specific ways. It involves designing a series of connected parts, called links and joints, so that when one part is moved, the others follow a desired motion pattern. This process helps develop mechanisms like robotic arms or watch gears that perform precise movements. Essentially, it's about figuring out how to connect and shape components so the entire system moves reliably and efficiently to achieve a particular task.
