In [[kinematics]], the '''Chebyshev Lambda Linkage'''<ref name="Wolfram">{{Cite web|url=http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ChebyshevsLambdaMechanism/|title=Chebyshev's Lambda Mechanism – Wolfram Demonstrations Project|website=demonstrations.wolfram.com}}</ref> is a [[four-bar linkage]] that converts [[rotational motion]] to approximate [[straight-line motion]] with approximate constant velocity.<ref name=DOM>{{Cite book |url=http://www.designofmachinery.com/DOM/ |title=Design of Machinery |year=2011}}</ref> It is so-named because it looks like a lowercase Greek letter [[lambda]] (λ).<ref name=etudes /> The precise design trades off straightness, lack of [[acceleration]], and the proportion of the driving rotation that is spent in the linear portion of the full curve.<ref name=DOM134>{{Cite book |url=http://www.designofmachinery.com/DOM/Chap_03_3ed_p134.pdf |title=DOM p134 Hoecken linkage }}</ref>
The example to the right spends over half of the cycle in the near
The linkage was first shown in Paris on the [[Exposition Universelle (1878)]] as "The Plantigrade Machine".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mech.spbstu.ru/Dzenushko_Dainis:_Walking_mechanisms_survey#The_Chebyshev_Walking_Mechanism|title = Dzenushko Dainis: Walking mechanisms survey – Department of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics}}</ref><ref name=etudes>{{Cite web |url=https://etudes.ru/en/etudes/chebyshev-plantigrade-machine/ |title=Tchebyshev's plantigrade machine — Mathematical Etudes |accessdate=2014-11-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728024836/http://www.etudes.ru/en/etudes/chebyshev-plantigrade-machine |archivedate=2017-07-28 }}</ref> The Chebyshev Lambda Linkage is a [[cognate linkage]] of the [[Chebyshev linkage]].
The Chebyshev Lambda Linkage is used in vehicle suspension mechanisms, walking robots, and rover wheel mechanisms. In 2004, a study completed as a Master of Science Thesis at [[Izmir Institute of Technology]] introduced a new mechanism design by combining two symmetrical Lambda linkages to distribute the force evenly on to ground with providing the straight vertical wheel motion.<ref>{{Cite thesis |last1=Barlas |first1=Fırat |title=Design of a Mars Rover suspension mechanism |url=https://openaccess.iyte.edu.tr/xmlui/handle/11147/3449 |publisher=Izmir Institute of Technology |access-date=3 April 2021 |date=June 2004 |hdl=11147/3449|type=Master Thesis }}</ref> It was then designed, manufactured, and tested in the Earth Rover Project of Los Angeles City College Electronics Club.<ref>{{Citation|title=Moxie Video Intro It|url=https://vimeo.com/117774490|language=en|access-date=2022-11-17}}</ref>
