Call for Contributions

We target organizing a full day workshop that will include a set of presentations that may split into two main categories: design and control. However, the proposed workshop envisions to elaborate on the interconnection of the two categories when relevant topics are discussed. The main topics include

1. Design:

   • Robot linkage structure/material,

   • Multi-articulation and novel drive topologies,

   • High peak power actuation,

   • High efficiency transmission,

   • Actuation unit placement,

   • Passive parallel/series compliance,

   • Cooling systems,

2. Control:

   • Bio-inspired/Optimal motion rendering,

   • Explosive impact/disturbance absorption/damping,

   • Explosive motion generation,

   • Thermal management,

   • Motor flux tuning,
