Mechanism Design for Robotic Systems provides theoretical fundamentals, procedures, and an outline of potential solutions for mechanism design applied to robotic systems, filling the gap from conceptual design to robot manufacturing, with both theoretical background and practical suggestions for solutions to achieve a functional robot from scratch. This book is a helpful resource for roboticists and researchers who need to design a new robot from the ground up, and to analyze existing solutions, providing tools and methods to identify optimal architecture, hardware, and design tips according to different methods.In addition, the book can be a reference for formation of robot designers as used in university teaching and professional specialization.

This book contains the selected papers of the Sixth International Workshop on Medical and Service Robots (MESROB 2018), held in Cassino, Italy, in 2018. The main topics of the workshop include: design of medical devices, kinematics and dynamics for medical robotics, exoskeletons and prostheses, anthropomorphic hands , therapeutic robots and rehabilitation, cognitive robots, humanoid and service robots, assistive robots and elderly assistance, surgical robots, human-robot interfaces, haptic devices, and medical treatments.  

This volume contains the Proceedings of the 4th IFToMM Symposium on Mechanism Design for Robotics, held in Udine, Italy, 11-13 September, 2018. It includes recent advances in the design of mechanisms and their robotic applications. It treats, among others, the following topics: mechanism design, mechanics of robots, parallel manipulators, actuators and their control, linkage and industrial manipulators, innovative mechanisms/robots and their applications.

This book can be used by students, researchers and engineers in the relevant areas of mechanisms, machines and robotics.

This is the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms that was held in Beijing, China, in September 2018.  The Symposium provided an international forum for presenting and discussing historical developments in the field of Machine and Mechanism Science (MMS). Special sections focused on the following topics:

 .       modern reviews of past works

 ·       engineers in history, and their works

 ·       direct memories of the recent past

 ·       the development of theories

 ·       the history of the design of machines and mechanisms

 ·       development of automation and robots

 ·       the development of teaching of MMS

 ·       the schools and institutes of mechanical engineering

This book discusses technological developments by distinguished figures in the history of MMS (mechanism and machine science). It includes biographies of well-known scientists, describing their efforts, experiences and achievements and offering a modern interpretation of their legacy. This volume includes scientists from a wide range of time periods, academic disciplines, and geographical backgrounds, such as Giovanni Bianchi, Homer, Taqi Al-Din, Jacques de Vaucanson, Ma Jun, Xu Baosheng, Alexander Alexandrovich Golovin, Francesco di Giorgio and Cesare Rossi.

Covering a wide range of figures within the field of history of mechanical engineering, with a particular focus on MMS, this fourth volume is of interest to, and will inspire the work (historical or not) of many.
