Kinematics Lecture: Six-bar and Eight-bar Linkage Synthesis
This is my lecture from the 2014 Kinematics Summer School organized by Anurag Purwar and is my best summary of the status of kinematic theory for the synthesis of planar six-bar and eight-bar linkages. It highlights the excellent work of Mark Plecnik, Kaustube Sonawale, Brian Parrish and Brandon Tsuge.
