A theory is proposed for algebraically determining the limit positions of single-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. The absence of limit positions indicates that the link being considered is a fully rotating crank. This theory is applied in the present paper to the RSSR and RRSS spatial mechanisms. Conditions for spatial mechanisms analogous to Grashof’s law should be attainable using this theory. A numerical example is given to illustrate the theory.

Aiming at the requirements of dual robot collaborative operation, a dual robot cooperation system model is established in SolidWorks2012 software to study the dual robot cooperation space. The D-H parameters are established, and the kinematics positive solution equation is obtained. The dual robot cooperative kinematics model is given. Based on the Monte Carlo method, the workspace of the dual robot is solved. The extreme value theory method is used to analyze and calculate, so as to extract the precise boundary contour of the common area of the dual robot workspace, and the collaborative space boundary surface and limit position of the dual robot are determined. The optimal coordinated working space of the dual robot end effector is obtained, which lays a theoretical foundation for the coordinated trajectory planning of the dual robot.

A non-iterative design method about high order intermittent mechanisms is presented. The mathematical principle is that a compound function produced by two basic functions, and then one to three order derivatives of the compound function are all zeroes when one order derivative of each basic function is zero at the same moment. The design method is that a combined mechanism is constructed by six bars; the displacement functions of the front four-bar and back four-bar mechanisms are separately built, let one order derivatives of two displacement functions separately be zero at the same moment, and then get geometrical relationships and solution on the intermittent mechanism. A design example shows that this method is simpler and transmission characteristics are better than optimization method.
