A Four Pivot Linkage to Simulate Head/Neck Kinematics

Abstract

The linkage has a pitch-roll link which rotates about a first pivot fixed in an upper body and which secures the lower end of a neck link in a second pivot. The upper end of the neck link is secured in a third pivot fixed in a yaw-pitch link which in turn articulates about a fourth pivot fixed in a head.
