The aim of this work is the study of the kinematic behavior of the closed mechanisms composed of rigid bodies. The mathematical model of such a mechanism is the closure equation f (q1,..., qm) = e where q1,...,qm are the articulate coordinates and f is an analytic function valued in the Lie displacement group. The study of the kinematic property lies to the one of the set of admissible configurations f-1 ( e ) which is a submanifold in the regular case where f is a subimmersion; however, the research is much more difficult when f has some singularities. We use as a fundamental tool the formalism of the differential geometry of the Lie groups for the displacement group and the Δ - modulo structure of its Lie algebra, that permits a simple an...
