<p>Dear Volkert,</p>
<p>good to hear from you as usual.</p>
<p>I'm cc-ing the post to our national robotics distribution list as
well as our PRISMA group at large.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot and best wishes,</p>

Dear Bruno,<br>
<br>
How are you doing? <br>
<br>
We are organising the 9th IFToMM Int. Summer School on Screw
Theory Based Methods in Robotics (Summer Screws 2023) in Delft
from June 18 to June 24, 2023, see the message below. If you know
any (of your) PhDs or Postdocs that might be interested, we would
be pleased if you could inform them and motivate them to
participate.<br>
<br>
Looking forward and best wishes,<br>
Volkert<br>

Subject: 9th summer school on screw-theory based methods in
robotics (Summer Screws 2023) <br>
<br>
The 9th IFToMM International Summer School on Screw Theory Based
Methods in Robotics (Summer Screws 2023) will take place from June
18 to June 24, 2023, at Delft University of Technology in Delft,
The Netherlands. Building on the successful editions in Beijing
(2015), Montreal (2016), and Melbourne (2017), this event is
designed to teach attendees how to apply existing screw-theory
based methods and develop new ones in their own research.
<div id="wb_element_instance9_1" class="wb_element
wb_text_element" data-plugin="TextArea" style=" line-height:
normal;">
<p class="wb-stl-normal">The program will introduce basic
theoretical notions in a rigorous manner, with a focus on
examples, applications, and exercises. This summer school is
suitable for Ph.D. students, post-docs, M.Sc. students, and
academic staff, as well as participants from industry who want
to enhance their skills in this field.</p>
<br>
</div>
Topics:<br>
<br>
- Basic vector-space properties of twists and wrenches: physical
interpretation of the linear operations; linear dependence and
independence, subspaces; bases and coordinates.
<div class="ContentPasted1">- Scalar products, dual spaces,
reciprocity. Constraint and freedom in mechanisms. Constraint
analysis. Type synthesis of single-loop mechanisms and parallel
manipulators.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">- Velocity and singularity analysis of
parallel and interconnected-chain mechanisms. Derivation of
input-output velocity equations and singularity conditions.<br>
-Mappings between screw spaces, stiffness, and inertia.
Structure of robot compliance. Eigenvalue problems and
eigenscrews. Synthesis with springs.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">- 6D formulation of the dynamics of
individual rigid bodies and rigid-body systems. Equations of
motion. Dynamics algorithms.</div>
<div>- Basic Lie group theory, matrix representations of the group
of rigid-body displacements. Lie algebras as related to screw
theory. The exponential map and its applications in modern
robotics. </div>
<br>
Lecturers: Marco Carricato, Roy Featherstone, Xianwen Kong,
Andreas Müller, Jon Selig, Dimiter Zlatanov, Matteo Zoppi<br>
