Proceedings of the 2022 Usctomm Symposium on Mechanical Systems and Robotics

This volume gathers the latest fundamental research contributions, innovations, and applications in the field of design and analysis of complex robotic mechanical systems, machines, and mechanisms, as presented by leading international researchers at the 2nd USCToMM Symposium on Mechanical Systems and Robotics (USCToMM MSR), held in Rapid City, South Dakota, USA on May 19-21, 2022. It covers highly diverse topics, including soft, wearable and origami robotic systems
applications to walking, flying, climbing, underground, swimming and space systems
human rehabilitation and performance augmentation
design and analysis of mechanisms and machines
human-robot collaborative systems
service robotics
mechanical systems and robotics education
and the commercialization of mechanical systems and robotics. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting and impactful research results that will inspire novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary research collaborations among researchers from around the globe.
