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.

Identifies the main requirements, challenges, and solutions behind robotic applicationsProvides knowledge on design to robotics researchers and professionals with a limited or no mechanical engineering backgroundPresents robotics-oriented mechanism science, discussion of robotic applications, and methods for mechanical design of robotic structures

The volume LNAI 12228 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 21th Annual Conference "Towards Autonomous Robotics," TAROS 20120, held in Nottingham, UK, in September 2020.*The 30 full papers and 11 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. The papers present and discuss significant findings and advances in autonomous robotics research and applications. They are organized in the following topical sections: soft and compliant robots; mobile robots; learning, mapping and planning; human-robot interaction; and robotic systems and applications.* The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
