The Index of Curvature and the Theoretical Framework for Bipedal Modules
Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The Index of Curvature was invented to describe the kinematic properties of a three‐degree‐of‐freedom mechanism based on the Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage when it traces circular curves. This mechanism serves as the basis of a particular class of sprawling legs.
