“…The research on single DOF single-loop overconstrained mechanisms started from 1853 when the Sarrus mechanism appeared. Since then, a number of single-loop overconstrained spatial mechanisms [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] have been proposed. Meanwhile, different approaches, such as construction approaches [1,5,9,16], geometric methods [12], algebraic approaches [3,8,10,11,14,15,17,19,21,22] and numerical methods [4,13,23], have been developed to the synthesis and analysis of overconstrained mechanisms.…”
