Short summary
Using loop equations and branch graphs, we propose a method to construct single-degree-of-freedom (single-DOF) multi-mode-planar mechanisms (MMPMs), replacing links or components of the singular configuration of planar mechanisms with multi-mode modules. The method is straightforward, visible, and widely applicable to single-DOF MMPMs. We give new design direction and powerful design guidance for the design of MMPMs, along with the available configuration and more choice for the application.
