This book deals with a crucial aspect of mechanical systems design: the synthesis and control of movements of machine components. The scientific research in this area is strongly linked to the evolution of robotics and mechatronics and is focused on various aspects of motion dynamics. Purpose of this volume is to provide researchers with updated information, useful from the point of view of application as well as of theory. For this reason, most chapters describe the research in depth and show all the required details to implement the methods toward other practical applications. The need of motor control studies is still growing in numerous research fields; therefore, our selection shows applications from very diverse areas. They range from terrestrial, aerial, underwater and space vehicles control, to the precision control of industrial components in manufacturing systems and include the control of structures connected to the human body and transmitting to it noise and vibrations.
