Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Representing the proceedings of the Joint International Conference of the Eleventh International Conference on Mechanisms and Mechanical Transmissions and the International Conference on Robotics held in Clerment-Ferrand, France in June 2012, this collection of technical papers showcases current scholarship in a wide variety of subject areas relating to engineering for automated processes and industrial robotics. Divided into sections covering physical mechanisms, mechanical transmission, robotics, and mechatronics, papers discuss topics such as mechanisms for self-starting thermal engines, simulations of bending vibrations in roller systems, walking-assistance devices for neuro-rehabilitation, and robotic vision systems for sorting and evaluation. Chapters include abstracts, keywords, illustrations, and tables, and a keyword index is provided. Contributors are academics in engineering fields from institutions around the world.
