Development of the active spatial rolling contact pair to generate the specified trajectory

Linkage mechanisms with 1 DOF composed of only lower pairs cannot generate the specified motion completely because of severe kinematic limitation of lower pairs. In order to relax the kinematic limitation and to generate the specified spatial trajectory completely, the authors have proposed the spat...
