Abstract :
We propose to explore the problem of mechanism synthesis with an approach using genetic algorithms. We intend to study the case where there exist geometric constraints (as avoiding obstacles). More precisely, we are interested in the choice of robots (morphology and position) which has to follow a given trajectory among obstacles
