​

It is with great pleasure that we bring to the readership of the ASME Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics (JCND) a special issue dedicated to select papers from the 17th International Conference on Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control (MSNDC), held during the ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering (IDETC-CIE) Conferences (Online, Virtual) on Aug. 17–20, 2021.
​
MSNDC is a premier meeting event for professional networking and research exchange across the multibody systems and nonlinear dynamics technical community and provides an international venue where our colleagues present an early glimpse into their highest-quality research. To adapt to the COVID-19 global situation, the 17th MSNDC conference was held virtually so that scholars, experts, and students around the world could still disseminate their latest research during the pandemic.

Call for Papers: Joint Special Issue on Design and Control of Responsive Robots

2/8/2022

 
ASME Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics
ASME Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics


Robots are complex, controlled, dynamical systems that interact with their environments. Novel robot concepts were developed in recent years, such as cable-driven platforms, agile parallel manipulators, lightweight robots, and inherently compliant manipulators, with applications ranging from medical devices, cobots and exoskeletons to machine tools, autonomous platforms for inspection and maintenance, and space robots. Future robots need to be responsive; they must (inter)act safely, minimize the use of resources (energy, material, process-, development-, and commissioning-time), and adapt to variations in demands and environmental conditions. The key to a reliable design of such robotic systems is holistic design approaches embracing kinematic synthesis, dynamic analysis, control, sensory perception, and adaptability.

The mechanical embodiment, as the starting point of any robot design, must be designed together with control, actuation, and sensory components. Novel mechanical design principles combining high-fidelity kinematic and dynamic models with data-driven methods are applied along with model-free machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods. The foundation is a synergetic combination of research in mechanism theory and dynamical systems and control.

This Joint Special Issue (published over two volumes, one in each sponsoring journal) aims to bridge these research fields and bring together the latest research on robot kinematics and dynamics as well as intelligent control and data-driven methods for perception, planning, model identification and control.

Topic Areas
• Holistic approaches to design, analysis, and control of mechanisms and robots
• Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI)
• Industrial robots, Cable-driven robots and platforms
• Legged and humanoid robots
• Robots equipped with series-elastic actuators (SEA)
• Intrinsic and extrinsic sensors for compliant robots
• Soft and continuum robots
• Embodied and mechanical intelligence
• Model-based and robust control
• Physics-based AI, data-driven and combined approaches to robot dynamics and control

Publication Target Dates
Paper Submission Deadline: Extended to June 13, 2022
Initial Review Completed: Extended to November 15, 2022
Decisions Due: Extended to February 15, 2023
Joint Special Issue Publication Date: Extended to June 2023

J. Comput. Nonlinear Dynam. Dec 2020, 15(12): 120301
This special issue is dedicated to selected papers from the 2019 Dynamical Systems—Theory and Applications (DSTA) conference held in Lodz, Poland, from December 2 to 5. The DSTA conferences have over a 25-year long history, and they have been organized under the patronage of the Committee of Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
​
In recent times, a considerable volume of research efforts have been undertaken in the fields of identification and mathematical description of nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear vibrations associated with energy harvesting systems, piezo-electric material or smart material beams, nanoplates, and cracks at different length scales. With regard to them, algebraic and differential mathematical models, as well as efficient computational techniques for dynamical analysis of the physical effects such as influence of magnetic fields, coupled oscillations in the vicinity of resonances, nonideal sources of excitation, transient bursting states, generation of flexural waves, and hysteretic damping are covered through the seven carefully selected papers included in this special Issue. The different contributions reflect the interest in the study of mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and other properties of nanostructures, the use of vibration energy in many natural and artificial systems, and coupled oscillators, such as FitzHugh–Nagumo subjected to external noise.  Read more...
