Abstract In automatic mechanism selection system based on orbit, orbit characteristics and dimension parameters of key orbit segments are momentous for selecting mechanisms. An orbit curve identification method based on characteristic is presented. By describing orbit curves with abundant forms with the basic orbits such as line, arc, cusp and “8” form, identification of orbit characteristics can be well solved and fundamental characteristic parameters of key orbit segments can be determined.
