Abstract: A $configuration$ of a linkage $Gamma$ is a possible positioning of $Gamma$ in $mathbb{R}^d$ and the collection of all such forms the configuration space $mathcalC(Gamma)$ of $Gamma$. We here introduce the notion of the $symmetricconfigurationspace$ of a linkage, in which we identify configurations which are geometrically indistinguishable. We show that the symmetric configuration space of a planar polygon has a regular cell structure, provide some principles for calculating this structure, and give a complete description of the symmetric configuration space of all quadrilaterals and of the equilateral pentagon.
