Research summary
AI-generated

Gordon R. Pennock works in mechanical engineering on the theory of machines and mechanisms, focusing on the mathematical analysis of how mechanical linkages and robotic systems move (kinematics). His work includes analyzing planar linkages (flat, two-dimensional mechanical systems) and robotic manipulators, as well as writing about the history and key figures of the mechanism-and-machine-science field.
