27–29 June 2024, Timişoara, Romania
6th IFToMM Symposium on Mechanism Design for Robotics

Call for Papers

The aim of the Symposium on Mechanism Design for Robotics (MEDER 2021) is to bring together researchers, in-dustry professionals, and students from a broad range of disciplines related to mechanisms and robotics to share the latest developments and discuss the directions for the future of mechanism and robotics research. MEDER 2024 continues a successful series of symposiums that started in Mexico 2010, with subsequent events in China in 2012, in Denmark in 2015, in Italy in 2018, and in France in 2021. The conference will be held at the Conference Center and the buildings of the Mechanical Faculty of Politehnica at University of Timişoara in Timişoara, Romania.

Topics
Papers are solicited on topics related to mechanisms within aspects of theory, design, practice, and its applications for robotics, including but not limited to:
Mechanism design;
Mechanism education and history of MMS;
Theoretical and computational kinematics;
Experimental mechanics;
Mechanics of robots;
Control issues of mechanical systems;
Machine intelligence;
Innovative mechanisms and applications;
Linkages and manipulators;
Micro-mechanisms;
Dynamics of machinery and multi-body systems.

Proceedings:
Authors are kindly asked to submit original full papers with a recommended length of 8 pages in Springer format. Instructions will be available in the Symposium webpage. All accepted and presented papers will be published in a Scopus indexed book of the Springer Series Mechanisms and Machine Science, with the title: “Advances in Mechanism Design for Robots—MEDER 2024”. For each of three categories (Research, Applications, and Student), three awards (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) will be given to the best papers.
