Abstract

This paper is to review all the discovered three-dimensional overconstrained linkage with only revolute joints. There are 15 types well known and several types recently proposed. Although the kinematics study on this family of linkages is in depth, little industry application has been developed. So it is the lost jade in the treasure box of mechanisms, waiting for being recovered and cherished.
