Description
Summary:The paper presents an algorithm to perform mobility analysis of foldable mechanisms. The suggested algorithm is based on a screw theory. As an example, the paper introduces a novel foldable mechanism with toroidal joints (“torifold” mechanism) and studies its mobility for different mechanism configurations depending on the tori geometry.
