Design and Operation of Locomotion Systems examines recent advances in locomotion systems with multidisciplinary viewpoints, including mechanical design, biomechanics, control and computer science. In particular, the book addresses the specifications and requirements needed to achieve the proper design of locomotion systems. The book provides insights on the gait analysis of humans by considering image capture systems. It also studies human locomotion from a rehabilitation viewpoint and outlines the design and operation of exoskeletons, both for rehabilitation and human performance enhancement tasks. Additionally, the book content ranges from fundamental theory and mathematical formulations, to practical implementations and experimental testing procedures.

Marco Ceccarelli received PhD degree in 1987 at the University La Sapienza of Rome. He was Professor in Cassino University and since March 2019 he is Professor at University of Rome Tor Vergata. He is Director of LARM2: Laboratory of Robot Mechatronics. He is Scientific Editor of Springer Book Series on History of MMS and on Mechanism and Machine Science, and Associate Editor of several Journals. He wrote the book ‘Fundamentals of Mechanics of Robotic Manipulation’ in 2004. In 2008 he co-authored a book on Mechanisms Design in Spanish. In 2010 he co-authored a book A brief illustrated history of machines and mechanisms. He received Degree of Doctor Honoris Causa from foreigner Universities and ASME Historian Award. He is ASME fellow. He was elected Secretary-General of IFToMM in 2004-2007 and IFToMM President in 2008-2011 and 2016-2019. His research interests cover aspects of Mechanism Design, Mechanics and Design of Robots, and History of Mechanical Engineering. He is author/co-author of several other books and papers, which are published in conference proceedings and international journals. Giuseppe Carbone is Associate Professor at DIMEG, University of Calabria. He has got the Master and Ph.D. degree at University of Cassino (Italy) where he has been a Key Member of LARM (Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics) for about 20 years. In 2015-2017 he has been Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University (UK) and member of the executive board of Sheffield Robotics. In 2008-09 he has been delivering bilingual classes of Teoria de Machinas (Mechanics of Machinery) at University Carlos III Madrid, Spain. He has been Invited Visiting Professor at Humanoid Robotics Institute (Waseda University, Japan) in 2008 and 2014; Invited Visiting Professor at Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Beihang University, Beijing, China) in 2013; Invited Visiting Professor at Pprime (University of Poiters, France) in 2019. His research interests cover aspects of Mechanics of Manipulation and Grasp, Mechanics of Robots, Engineering Design, Mechanics of Machinery with over 300 research paper outputs and 16 Phd completions. He has been invited to deliver invited Keynote speeches and seminars on his research activity at more than 30 International events. He has been PI or co-PI of more than 20 projects including 7th European Framework and H2020 funds. He edited/co-edited four books that have been published by Springer International Publisher. Giuseppe Carbone has received several Awards including three IFToMM “Young Delegate” Awards, two JSPS Short-Term Invitation Awards in Japan, about 20 Conference Best Paper Awards. Currently, he is Deputy Chair of IFToMM World Technical Committee on Robotics and Mechatronics, Deputy Chair of the Youth Committee of the International Society of Bionics and Biomechanics, Treasurer of the IFToMM Italy Society; Chair of the MESROB (Medical and Service Robotics) International Conference series; Member of the TC/PC of several International Conferences such as ROMANSY, IFIT, ICINCO..
