35TH ASME MECHANISMS AND ROBOTICS CONFERENCE (MECH)<br />
Michael Stanisic<br />
Conference Chair<br />
University of Notre Dame<br />
Welcome to the 35th ASME Mechanisms <strong>and</strong> Robotics Conference. The conference has its origin in 1953, as The Conference on<br />
Mechanisms, hosted biennially by Purdue University. In 1964, ASME took it over <strong>and</strong> formed the ASME Biennial Mechanisms<br />
Conference. The conference was renamed the ASME Biennial Mechanisms <strong>and</strong> Robotics Conference in 2000, <strong>and</strong> in 2005, it<br />
became an annual event as the ASME Mechanisms <strong>and</strong> Robotics Conference. Today the conference is a recognized international<br />
forum for the exchange of new ideas <strong>and</strong> the presentation of recent advances in the theory, design <strong>and</strong> application of mechanisms<br />
<strong>and</strong> robotic systems.<br />
This year, the conference presents 142 peer-reviewed technical papers organized into the following eight technical symposia, along<br />
with the Student Mechanism <strong>and</strong> Robot Design Competition. We thank the listed organizers for coordinating the reviews associated<br />
with each symposium.<br />
• MR-1 Compliant Mechanisms (Hai-Jun Su, Craig Lusk)<br />
• MR-2 Tensegrity <strong>and</strong> Cable Driven Systems (Phil Voglewede, Philippe Cardou)<br />
• MR-3 Mechanisms <strong>and</strong> Robots in Medicine (Carl Nelson, Joo Kim)<br />
• MR-4 Mobile Robots (Dennis Hong, Venkat Krovi)<br />
• MR-5 Parallel Manipulators (Andreas Müller, Dan Zhang)<br />
• MR-6 Mechanism Analysis <strong>and</strong> Synthesis (David Myszka, Xianwen Kong)<br />
• MR-7 Robot Dynamics <strong>and</strong> Control (Anurag Purwar, Nilesh Mankame)<br />
• MR-8 Mechanisms <strong>and</strong> Robotics Education (Robert Freeman, Alba Perez-Garcia)<br />
• MR-9 Student Mechanism <strong>and</strong> Robot Design Competition (David Cappelleri, Brian Trease)<br />
WELCOME MESSAGES<br />
We would like to thank Stephen Canfield, chair of the Awards Committee, for coordinating the selection of the M&R Best Paper<br />
Award, the GM/Freudenstein Young Investigator Award, the AT Yang Award for Best Paper in Theoretical Kinematics <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Compliant Mechanisms Theory <strong>and</strong> Application Awards. Please attend our Wednesday Luncheon for the presentation of these <strong>and</strong><br />
the awards to the winners of the Student Mechanism <strong>and</strong> Robot Design Competition.<br />
On Monday, our keynote address will be given by Dr. Sridhar Kota, professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.<br />
Dr. Kota, the recipient of numerous awards <strong>and</strong> honors, is currently on leave <strong>from</strong> Michigan serving as the Assistant Director for<br />
Advanced Manufacturing at the White House Office of Science <strong>and</strong> Technology Policy. Dr. Kota coordinates Federal advanced<br />
manufacturing R&D <strong>and</strong> addresses issues related to innovation, manufacturing competitiveness <strong>and</strong> technology commercialization.<br />
A special thanks is owed to all the authors, reviewers, presenters, symposium organizers, session chairs <strong>and</strong> all the other volunteers<br />
who have contributed their efforts to the overall success of the conference. We hope that you enjoy the conference, <strong>and</strong> we look<br />
forward to your continued support <strong>and</strong> participation in future Mechanisms <strong>and</strong> Robotics Conferences.<br />
