Flexible Mechanisms: Cardan and Inverters

This lecture covers the concept of flexible mechanisms, focusing on cardans and inverters. The instructor presents various ideas and sketches to guide students in designing a project with open specifications. Through a series of examples and discussions, students learn how to approach complex projects by breaking down main functions into simpler components, such as guiding coils and balancing dynamic systems. The lecture emphasizes the importance of drawing sketches to communicate mechanical ideas effectively and encourages students to explore different solutions for achieving balance and motion control in flexible mechanisms.
