This paper presents a design methodology for a system of linkages that can trace planar Bezier curves that represent cursive handwriting of the alphabet and Chinese characters. This paper shows that the standard degree n Bezier curve can be reparameterized so that it takes the form of a trigonometric curve that can be drawn by a one degree-of-freedom coupled serial chain consisting of 2n links. A series of cubic Bezier curves that define a handwritten name yields a series of six-link coupled serial chains that trace these curves. We then show how to simplify this system using cubic trigonometric Bezier curves to obtain a series of four-link serial chains that approximate the system of Bezier curves. The result is a methodology for the design of a mechanical system that draws complex plane curves such as the cursive alphabet and Chinese characters.

Innovative applications in rapidly evolving domains such as robotic navigation and autonomous (driverless) vehicles rely on motion planning systems that meet the shortest path and obstacle avoidance requirements. This article proposes a novel path planning algorithm based on jump point search and Bezier curves. The proposed algorithm consists of two main steps. In the front end, the improved heuristic function based on distance and direction is used to reduce the cost, and the redundant turning points are trimmed. In the back end, a novel trajectory generation method based on Bezier curves and a straight line is proposed. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm provides a complete motion planning solution from the front end to the back end, which can realize an optimal trajectory from the initial point to the target point used for robot navigation.
