Abstract. In modern design of robotic systems, one of the promising areas is the creation of mechanisms for foldable structures. Such mechanisms can be used for antennas, whose area in operation mode must exceed the area in transport mode, as well as for mobile reconfigurable robots. In the modern theory of mechanisms, there are a sufficient number of synthesis theories aimed at solving applied problems, but such techniques are not aimed at creating foldable structures. A technique for synthesizing flat mechanisms with single degree of freedom using articulated polygons is proposed. The main points of the methodology and possible ways of its implementation are presented.
