This lecture covers the concept of flexible guidance, focusing on the kinematics of flexible elements such as leaf springs and rods used as revolute joints. The instructor explains parasitic motion, pure bending, ideal pivots, and kinematic analysis of basic flexure-bearings using intuitive methods. The lecture emphasizes understanding the shift vectors, rotations, and hyperstaticity in flexible mechanisms.
