The Royal Mathematical Society of Spain and Spanish Automatic Committee promote a few days for "two converging points of view" between...

Today is the International Day of Mathematics (IDM), being a worldwide celebration. Let us recall the importance of Screw Theory!

We propose and defend this elegant approach of the screw theory for robotics to solve the kinematics of rigid body motion.

This blog is intended primarily for engineering undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. students, but also for robotics practitioners.

The dream of anyone working in robotics is to have a humanoid robot that goes around and does exciting things in the real world.

We would like to see humanoid robots in a commercial context to go into a shop and see a robot trying to sell something clever.

To give a hint of these Screw Theory robust methodologies, we will see some examples of inverse dynamics for some industrial manipulators.

The need for simple formulations for the equations of motion becomes a vital issue as the complexity of robots and their control increases.

The historical review of commercial robotics applications is a journey of only half a century. We see Isaac Asimov with Unimation robot.

Fortunately, there is a more positive view of those trusting in robotics and humankind's positive potential.

Karel Capek presented the contemporary origin of the concept of "Robot" at the beginning of the 20th century in the play "R.U.R".

Tesla's radio-controlled boat illustrates his virtuosity as well as the challenges of inventing something ahead of its time.

The extensive studies on the structure of mechanisms make Leonardo a remarkable historical reference for robotics research.

The study of mechanical systems that interact with each other has received the interest of scientists ever since.

If we could build a machine whose mechanical structure duplicated human physiology, then...

The importance of the Screw Theory for Robotics is recognized but hardly capitalized. Engineering students rarely learn about it in class.
