Special Issue on Selected Papers from IDETC-CIE 2021: Published August 2022

In the August 2022 Issue (Volume 14, Issue 4)ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics  published a Special Issue drawing on selected papers from the 45th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference (MR), held as part of the 2021 International Design and Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC-CIE 2021).  Sponsored by the Mechanisms and Robotics Technical Committee of the ASME Design Engineering Division, this annual gathering was held virtually August 17-20, 2021.

The 45th ASME Mechanisms and Robotics Conference provides the exchange of technical and scientific information on the theory and practice of mechanical and robotic systems.  Topics will range throughout areas central to design and control of mechanical, mechatronic, and robotic systems including kinematics, dynamics, design, analysis and validation, reconfigurable mechanisms, novel mechanisms and robots, software systems, educational practices, and various applications.  Papers are specially invited from the upcoming areas in sensor-controlled robotic systems, rehabilitation-, soft-, and medical-robotics, prostheses, and exoskeleton design and development.
