Five Years of ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics

Abstract

The journal continues to publish research contributions to the fundamental theory, algorithms, design, manufacture, and experimental validation for mechanisms and robots. The current scope of the journal includes topics in theoretical and applied kinematics, mechanism synthesis and design, analysis and design of robot manipulators, hands, and legs, soft robotics, compliant mechanisms, origami and folded robots, printed robots, and haptics devices. The journal is also interested in novel fabrication, actuation and control techniques for mechanisms and robotics, bioinspired approaches to mechanism and robot design, and the mechanics and design of microand nanoscale devices.
