Detailed Description

Implementation of a four-bar-linkage transmission.

This transmission relates two actuators and two joints through a mechanism in which the state of the first joint only depends on the first actuator, while the second joint depends on both actuators, as illustrated below. Although the class name makes specific reference to the four-bar-linkage, there are other mechanical layouts that yield the same behavior, such as the remote actuation example also depicted below.

\begin{eqnarray*} \tau_{j_1} & = & n_{a_1} \tau_{a_1} \\ \tau_{j_2} & = & n_{a_2} \tau_{a_2} - n_{a_1} \tau_{a_1} \end{eqnarray*}

\begin{eqnarray*} \dot{x}_{j_1} & = & \dot{x}_{a_1} / n_{a_1} \\ \dot{x}_{j_2} & = & \dot{x}_{a_2} / n_{a_2} - \dot{x}_{a_1} / n_{a_1} \end{eqnarray*}

\begin{eqnarray*} x_{j_1} & = & x_{a_1} / n_{a_1} + x_{off_1} \\ x_{j_2} & = & x_{a_2} / n_{a_2} - x_{a_1} / n_{a_1} + x_{off_2} \end{eqnarray*}

Joint to actuator

\begin{eqnarray*} \tau_{a_1} & = & \tau_{j_1} / n_{a_1} \\ \tau_{a_2} & = & (\tau_{j_1} + \tau_{j_2}) / n_{a_2} \end{eqnarray*}

\begin{eqnarray*} \dot{x}_{a_1} & = & n_{a_1} \dot{x}_{j_1} \\ \dot{x}_{a_2} & = & n_{a_2} (\dot{x}_{j_1} + \dot{x}_{j_2}) \end{eqnarray*}

\begin{eqnarray*} x_{a_1} & = & n_{a_1} (x_{j_1} - x_{off_1}) \\ x_{a_2} & = & n_{a_2} \left[(x_{j_1} - x_{off_1}) + (x_{j_2} - x_{off_2})\right] \end{eqnarray*}
