IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics

Focused Section on Compliant Mechanisms for Mechatronics

Paper Submission : 1 March, 2023

Topic:

Compliant Mechanisms (CMs), along with Soft Robotic devices formed
therewith, may be defined as engineering systems achieving force and motion
transmission via the deflection of flexible members. CMs have increasingly
gained a strong foothold in the scientific arena owing to their hinge-less
nature, shock resistance, potential single-piece manufacturability, safety
in human-machine interaction, minimal maintenance requirements, and
adaptability to work in unstructured environments. In parallel, current
advances in the production of inherently compliant sensory-motor apparatus,
as well as progress in the development of robust control methods, are paving
the way to practical CM adoption in a large variety of engineering fields,
including healthcare, manufacturing, inspection/maintenance, and agrifood.
However, by embracing large deflections as a requirement rather than a
design flaw, the conception and the subsequent physical prototyping of
optimal CMs requires: i) material models capable of dealing with finite
deformations, time-dependent phenomena, and uncertain constitutive
parameters; ii) design tools allowing to simulate the behaviour of highly
deformable structures; iii) reliable, possibly affordable, manufacturing
methods; iv) more powerful adaptive learning and control techniques. Within
this scenario, this focused section aims at providing an opportunity for
material scientists, robotic/control engineers, and practitioners from
academia or industry to present the latest theoretical and technological
achievements in Complaint Mechanisms for Mechatronics. Particular focus
shall be placed on transdisciplinary methodological frameworks, hardware
development for real-world applications and out-of-lab experiments. Papers
presenting newly emerging fields (such as robotic programmable materials)
are also especially welcome.

Manuscripts should contain both theoretical and experimental results and
they will be subject to the normal TMECH review procedures. The topics of
interest within the scope of this Special Section include, but not limited
to, the following:

●        Integrated design of compliant mechanisms for robotics &
mechatronics;

●        Control methods for continuum & reconfigurable soft/compliant
robots;

●        Computer-Aided tools for optimizing adaptive systems;

●        Manufacturing methods for soft intelligent machines (such as
Additive Manufacturing and 4D Printing);

●        Optimization of programmable stiffness mechanisms & actuators;

●        Architected, functional and meta-materials for compliant/soft
robotics;

●        Smart-material-based actuation & sensing systems;

●        Stretchable/flexible electronics & power sources;

●        Applications of compliant mechanisms in healthcare, manufacturing,
inspection/maintenance, and agrifood.

Manuscript Preparation:

Papers must contain original contributions and be prepared in accordance
with TMECH standards. Instructions for authors are available online at:
