N2 - Developable mechanisms provide unparalleled compactness and deployability. This paper explores the kinematic behavior of developable mechanisms that conform to regular cylindrical surfaces. Equations that define these mechanisms within mechanism synthesis are provided and compared with path and motion synthesis tasks for traditional four-bar mechanisms. The design implications, limitations, and opportunities associated with regular cylindrical developable mechanisms are discussed through the lens of both an analytical and graphical method.
