Fundiert und methodisch sauber führt dieses Buch in die mathematischen und geometrischen Grundlagen der ebenen Kinematik sowie der Raum- und der Roboterkinematik ein. Anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen und einer Vielzahl von Illustrationen werden die hier verwendeten Verfahren erläutert. Die sehr allgemeine Darstellung versetzt den Leser in die Lage, neuartige Problemstellungen mit diesen Methoden zu bewältigen. Insbesondere wird die Übertragung auf den Computer erleichtert. Auch die klassischen Ergebnisse der ebenen und der Raumkinematik wurden so modern aufbereitet, dass ein nahtloser Übergang zu neuesten Forschungsergebnissen der Roboterkinematik geschaffen wird. Die Autoren sind namhafte Hochschullehrer aus Technik und angewandter Mathematik.

After two succesful conferences held in Innsbruck (Prof. Manfred Husty) in 2006 and Cassino in 2008 (Prof Marco Ceccarelli) with the participation of the most important well-known scientists from the European Mechanism Science Community, a further conference was held in  Cluj Napoca, Romania, in 2010 (Prof. Doina Pisla) to discuss new developments in the field. This book presents the most recent research advances in Mechanism Science with different applications. Amongst the topics treated are papers on Theoretical kinematics, Computational kinematics, Mechanism design, Mechanical transmissions, Linkages and manipulators, Mechanisms for biomechanics, Micro-mechanisms, Experimental mechanics, Mechanics of robots, Dynamics of multi-body systems, Dynamics of machinery, Control issues of mechanical systems, Novel designs, History of mechanism science etc.

This book is  of interest to researchers inquiring about modern topics and methods in the kinematics, control and design of robotic manipulators. It considers the full range of robotic systems, including serial, parallel and cable driven manipulators, both planar and spatial. The systems range from being less than fully mobile to kinematically redundant to overconstrained. In addition to recognized areas, this book also presents recent advances in emerging areas such as the design and control of humanoids and humanoid subsystems, and the analysis, modeling and simulation of human body motions, as well as the mobility analysis of protein molecules and the development of machines which incorporate man.
