It has become obvious that certain singular phenomena cannot be explained by a mere investigation of the configuration space, defined as the solution set of the loop closure equations. For example, it was observed that a particular 6R linkage, constructed by combination of two Goldberg 5R linkages, exhibits kinematic singularities at a smooth point in its configuration space. Such problems are addressed in this paper. To this end, an algebraic framework is used in which the constraints are formulated as polynomial equations using Study parameters. The algebraic object of study is the ideal generated by the constraint equations (the constraint ideal).Using basic tools from commutative algebra and algebraic geometry (primary decomposition, Hilbert's Nullstellensatz), the special phenomenon is related to the fact that the constraint ideal is not a radical ideal. With a primary decomposition of the constraint ideal, the associated prime ideal of one primary ideal contains strictly into the associated prime ideal of another primary ideal which also gives the smooth configuration curve. This analysis is extended to shaky and kinematotropic linkages, for which examples are presented.

Many researchers tried to understand/explain the geometric reasons for paradoxical mobility of a mechanical linkage, i.e. the situation when a linkage allows more motions than expected from counting parameters and constraints. Bond theory is a method that aims at understanding paradoxical mobility from an algebraic point of view. Here we give a self-contained introduction of this theory and discuss its results on closed linkages with revolute or prismatic joints.

“…Rational motions are often represented by homogeneous transformation matrices of dimension four by four whose entries are rational functions. Our study is based on the dual quaternion model of SE (3) where rational motions appear as rational curves on the Study quadric S and are parameterized by certain polynomials with dual quaternion coefficients.…”

“…However, exceptions to this relation of degrees do exist. The most famous example is probably the Darboux motion, [1,Chapter 9,§ 3] or [5]. It is represented by a polynomial C of degree three in dual quaternions while its trajectories are of degree two.…”

The trajectories of a rational motion given by a polynomial of degree n in the dual quaternion model of rigid body displacements are generically of degree 2n. In this article we study those exceptional motions whose trajectory degree is lower. An algebraic criterion for this drop of degree is existence of certain right factors, a geometric criterion involves one of two families of rulings on an invariant quadric. Our characterizations allow the systematic construction of rational motions with exceptional degree reduction and explain why the trajectory degrees of a rational motion and its inverse motion can be different.
