Ferdinand Freudenstein (12 May 1926 – 30 March 2006) was an American physicist and engineer who is considered to be the "Father of Modern Kinematics." Freudenstein made revolutionary contribution applying digital computation to the kinematic synthesis of mechanisms. In his Ph.D dissertation, Freudenstein developed what is to become the Freudenstein Equation, which uses a simple algebraic method to synthesize planar four-bar function generators.
