Mechanisms and Robotics

About

The mission of the Mechanisms and Robotics (MR) Committee is to promote advances in research and education in the theory, design and applications of mechanisms, machines, robots and mechatronic systems.

Areas of interest include: kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms; analysis of robotic systems; design of cams, gears, transmissions, and linkages; bio-inspired machines; mechatronics; medical devices; compliant mechanisms; and micro and nano machines.

The Mechanisms and Robotics Conference is our flagship event and the largest conference within the ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC). The Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics (JMR) is the central journal for this committee. Our members are active contributors and leaders within the global mechanisms and robotics research community.
