Dear Professors and colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the folliwing Special Issue in the ASME Journal
of Mechanical Design entitled "Design and Synthesis of Remote Center fo
Motion Mechanisms".

You are kindly invited to submit their papers on topics related to RCM
mechanisms which non-exclusively include: Topological and dimensional
synthesis, Optimum design, Artificial intelligence for design, Design
methodology, Kinematic analysis, Stiffness analysis, Novel and special
design, Reconfigurability and redundancy and Medical, industrial and
other applications.

Abstract: Robotic manipulators capable of generating a Remote Center of
Motion (RCM) enable a device, instrument, or tool to rotate around a
fixed point that is called the Center of Rotation (CoR). In medical
applications, for example, the increasing use of minimally invasive
procedures, known as Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), has spurred
reliance on RCM kinematics for the manipulation of surgical tools. The
CoR within these mechanisms results directly from their mechanical
architecture rather than their control. This special issue focuses on
the design methodology of mechanisms in this category with more interest
in kinematic synthesis and design optimization that can be associated
with kinematic analysis.

The deadline for submitting papers is on November 1st 2025. The result
notifications and the publication of accepted papers are predicted to
January 1st 2026 and June 2026, respectively. For more information about
the submission process, please visit the announcement page:
