6th IFToMM Symposium onMechanism Design for Robotics

MEDER 2024Timişoara, Romania, June 27-29, 2024
Call for Papers
The aim of the Symposium on Mechanism Design for Robotics (MEDER 2021) is to bring together
researchers, industry 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 androbotics research. MEDER 2024 continues a successful series of Symposiums that has been started in
Mexico 2010, continued in China 2012, in Denmark 2015, in Italy 2018 and in France 2021. The Conference
will be held at the Conference Center and the buildings of Mechanical Faculty of Politehnica at Universityof Timişoara in Timişoara, Romania.
TopicsPapers are solicited on topics relatedwith mechanisms within aspects oftheory, 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-bodysystems
Proceedings:
Authors are kindly asked to submit
original full papers with recommended
length of 8 pages in Springer format.
Instructions will be available in theSymposium webpage. All accepted andpresented 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.
