This book presents the conference proceedings of the 23rd IFToMM China International Conference on Mechanism and Machine Science & Engineering (IFToMM CCMMS 2022). CCMMS was initiated in 1982, and it is the most important forum held in China for the exchange of research ideas, presentation of technical and scientific achievements, and discussion of future directions in the field of mechanism and machine science.

The topics include parallel/hybrid mechanism synthesis and analysis, theoretical & computational kinematics, compliant mechanisms and micro/nano-mechanisms, reconfigurable and metamorphic mechanisms, space structures, mechanisms and materials, structure adaptation in space environment and ground testing, large-scale membrane deployable structures, construction and application of super-scale space systems, cams, gears and combining mechanisms, fluid power mechatronics drivetrain, mechanical design theory and methods, dynamics and vibration control, mechatronics, biologically inspired mechanisms and robotics, medical & rehabilitation robotics, mobile robotics, soft robotics, heavy non-road mobile machine, robot applications, engineering education on mechanisms, machines, and robotics.

This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of current advances in mechanism and machine science in China. The inspiring ideas presented in the papers enlighten academic research and industrial application. The potential readers include academic researchers and industrial professionals in mechanism and machine science.
