  • Abstract
    In this article we discuss some of the important similarity rules, or scaling laws that apply to robotic mechanisms. The important question is: “What information can I derive about a smaller or larger system from a similarly configured, operational system?” The scaling laws elucidated here are useful for the initial configuration of new designs
