Abstract
Four bar mechanisms are basic components of many
important mechanical device. The kinematic synthesis of
four bar mechanisms is a difficult design problem.
We present here a novel method that combines the
genetic programming and decision tree learning
methods.
We give a structural description for the class of
mechanisms that produce desired coupler curves. For
finding and characterising feasible regions of the
design space constructive induction is used. Decision
trees constitute the learning engine and the new
features are created by genetic programming.
