In this paper, we give a full classification of all pentapods with mobility 2, where neither all platform anchor points nor all base anchor points are located on a line. Therefore, this paper solves the famous Borel–Bricard problem for two-dimensional motions beside the excluded case of five collinear points with spherical trajectories. But even for this special case, we present three new types as a side-result. Based on our study of pentapods, we also give a complete list of all nonarchitecturally singular hexapods with two-dimensional self-motions.
