New Trends In Mechanism And Machine Science

This book gathers the proceedings of the 9th European Conference on Mechanism Science (EuCoMeS), which was held in Padua, Italy, on September 18–20, 2024, under the patronage of IFToMM. It presents the latest research and industrial applications in the areas of mechanism science, robotics, and dynamics. The contributions cover such topics as computational kinematics, control issues in mechanical systems, mechanisms for medical rehabilitation, mechanisms for minimally invasive techniques, cable robots, design issues for mechanisms and robots, and the teaching and history of mechanisms. Written by leading researchers and engineers and selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, the papers highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
