KaRD series is an open environment where researchers can present their works and discuss all the topics focused on the many aspects that involve kinematics in the design of robotic/automatic systems. Kinematics is so intimately related to the design of robotic/automatic systems that the admitted topics of the KaRD series practically cover all the subjects normally present in well-established international conferences on "mechanisms and robotics". KaRD2021, after the peer-review process, accepted 12 papers. The accepted papers cover some theoretical and many design/applicative aspects.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscautonomous underwater vehiclesbio-inspired exoskeletonbiomimeticscable-driven systemChebyshev and least-square approximationscollaborative robotscomputational modellingdesign optimizationdexteritydifferential evolutiondimensional synthesisdynamic modellingelderlyEP controlergonomicsfinger gripfunctional electrical stimulationHill's modelindeterminate linkagesinspectionkinematic synthesis and analysiskinematic synthesis of robotskinematicskinetostaticsmachine designMATLABmechanism optimizationmixed-position synthesismultibody systemsover-actuationparallel manipulatorperformance indexperformance tricyclepinch assistantpinch forceplanar linkagesrehabilitation roboticsRoboMechrobot designrobot modeling and simulationroboticsscrew theorySimScapeSimScape MultibodysimulationSimulinksix-bar linkageskill-based programmingsmall-scale productionStephenson IIItopologytorque adjusting mechanismtransmission systemstwist systemsunderwater robotsupper limb rehabilitationusabilityuseful workspaceWatt IIHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesDi Gregorio Raffaeleedt1314868Di Gregorio RaffaeleothBOOK9910595066703321Kinematics and Robot Design IV, KaRD20213038584UNINA
