Preface

Robotics is a prolific and intensive research field whose applications have had a highly positive impact on both academia and industry. While old and modern theories are applied to solve challenging problems and improve existing solutions, mathematical models are currently used in the design, simulation, and control of industrial robots. Certainly, the possibilities offered by robot manipulators are immense, causing the variety of robot designs to continue to grow, which demands efficient and confident mathematical methods of analysis. It is noticeable that despite the diversity of journals and books concerned with the study of robot manipulators, there are particular issues that deserve to be deeply investigated or in some cases elucidated in the light of modern kinematics; these include singularities and higher-order kinematic analyses of robot manipulators. In this area, contributions approaching the jerk and hyper-jerk analyses of robot manipulators via screw theory are rather scarce, perhaps because of the lack of practical applications or the lack of credibility about the validity o
