ABSTRACT: Hexapods are mechanical devices constituted of two rigid 
bodies, called base and platform, connected by six rods, called legs, 
which are anchored to the base and the platform via spherical joints.
When the legs are in general position and of general length, these 
objects are rigid. Understanding mobile hexapods is one of the main 
questions in theoretical kinematics. I this talk, I will report some 
results from a joint work with Hans-Christian Graf von Bothmer and 
Josef Schicho concerning a partial classification of some  configuration
curves of mobile hexapods. 

Best regards,
Andrea, Alessandro and Michele
