kINEMATICS SUMMER SCHOOL

aUGUST 17-18, 2019 @ hilton anaheim, ca

An ASME Mechanisms and Robotics (MR) Committee Event

Sponsored by the ASME Design Engineering Division (DED)

Co-located with the 2019 ASME International Design Engineering and Technical Conferences

Welcome

The ASME Mechanisms and Robotics Committee welcomes you to a two-day long Kinematics Summer School (KiSS) from August 17-18 at Hilton Anaheim, CA and co-located with the 2019 ASME IDETC conference.

This summer school will bring together experts from the community to provide two full days of instruction and practical application on topics such as screw theory, quaternions and Clifford algebras, mechanism synthesis, and algebraic geometry to Origami-based Engineering Design, rehabilitation robotics, reconfigurable mechanisms, and machine learning and AI in mechanisms and robotics.

Please see the full program here. We will be hosting this school in room Santa Monica in the Hilton hotel.

Objective

To provide interested PhD students and faculty access to the fundamentals of these topics, to enable easier entry into the associated research domains and to encourage proliferation of graduate courses in these areas.

Our speaker Prof. Larry Howell speaks to the popular youtube blogger Veritasium on Why Machines That Bend Are Better.
