What is a "mechanism"?
The scope of the "mechanism" in this contest is rather broad. For the
purpose of this conference, a "mechanism" is defined as:
Any device that transmits a force or a motion in a
deterministic way to serve a mechanical task. It may consist of rigid or
deformable bodies connected
with kinematic or flexural joints. It can be made of any type of
materials including smart and other active materials. It can be actuated
using any transduction principle using any form of energy input.
The size of the device can range from nano scale to macro scale.
Contact the conference organizer if you have any qestions about whether
your mechanism lies within the scope of this contest.
