ark 2012 - 13th International Symposium on Advances in Robot Kinematics

13th International Symposium on Advances in Robot Kinematics will be held in Innsbruck, Austria in June 2012.

It is organised by the Unit Geometry and CAD, University Innsbruck, Austria in cooperation with the Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia and under patronage of IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science.

ARK is a series of international symposia organized every two years. Its objective is to provide a forum for researchers working in robot kinematics and to stimulate new directions of research by forging links between robot kinematics and other areas.

The main topics of the conference are:

Analysis of robot kinematics
Modeling and simulation of robot kinematics
Design of kinematic robots
Kinematics in robot control
Theories and methods in kinematics
Singularity, workspace and isotropy
Kinematics in biological systems
Kinematics of parallel robots, redundant robots, multi-arm robots
