Marco Ceccarelli Bücher

Focusing on the practical application of robotics, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for graduate students in mechanical and electrical engineering. It emphasizes the modeling, simulation, and operation of robotic systems for both industrial and innovative non-industrial uses. The chapters are structured for standalone reading, catering to diverse educational needs. Advanced concepts are succinctly explained with illustrative examples, making it valuable for both students and practitioners. The content reflects the author's extensive research in robotics since the late 1980s.

This is the first book of a series that will focus on MMS (Mechanism and Machine Science). This book also presents IFToMM, the International Federation on the Promotion of MMS and its activity.   This volume contains contributions by IFToMM officers who are Chairs of member organizations (MOs), permanent commissions (PCs), and technical committees (TCs), who have reported their experiences and views toward the future of IFToMM and MMS. The book is composed of three  the first with general considerations by high-standing IFToMM persons, the second chapter with views by the chairs of PCs and TCs as dealing with specific subject areas, and the third one with reports by the chairs of MOs as presenting experiences and challenges in national and territory communities.   This book will be of interest to a wide public who wish to know the status and trends in MMS both at international level through IFToMM and in national/local frames through the leading actors of activities. In addition, the book can be considered also a fruitful source to find out  “who’s who”  in MMS, historical backgrounds and trends in MMS developments, as well as for challenges and problems in future activity by IFToMM community and in MMS at large.
