This lecture introduces the mechanisms in robotics, focusing on springs and their various applications. The instructor covers the design and function of springs in robots, including overconstraint mechanisms, backlash reduction, and energy storage. The lecture also explores the use of springs to compensate for gravity, store energy, and correct alignment in robotic systems.
