New Advances in Mechanisms, Mechanical Transmissions and Robotics MTM & Robotics 2024

This book gathers the proceedings of the Joint International Conference of the XIV International Conference on Mechanisms and Mechanical Transmissions (MTM) and the XXVI International Conference on Robotics (Robotics), held in Ia?i, Romania, on November 14–16, 2024. It addresses the applications of mechanisms and transmissions in several modern technical fields such as mechatronics, biomechanics, machines, micromachines, robotics, and apparatus. In doing so, it combines theoretical findings and experimental testing. The book presents peer-reviewed papers written by researchers specialized in mechanism analysis and synthesis, dynamics of mechanisms and machines, mechanical transmissions, biomechanics, precision mechanics, mechatronics, micromechanisms and microactuators, computational and experimental methods, CAD in mechanism and machine design, mechanical design of robot architecture, parallel robots, mobile robots, micro and nano-robots, sensors and actuators in robotics, intelligent control systems, biomedical engineering, teleoperation, haptics, and virtual reality.
