Auditorium of the Federal University of Santa Catarina – Campus Blumenau
4rd WMRD, Fourth Workshop on Mechanism and Robot Design, is an event promoted by the Federal University of Santa Catarina – Campus Blumenau, the Robotics Laboratory (LAR) of Federal University of Santa Catarina and the Research Group in Robotics (GPROB). This workshop brings together students, researchers and professors from the areas of Engineering, Physics and Mathematics. The program of the workshop will consist of lectures which, together with informal conversations, will offer the participants a unique opportunity to share experiences and current trends in the areas of mechanisms and robotics.
In its fourth edition, 4th WMRD will be held in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, hosted by the Federal University of Santa Catarina – Campus Blumanu.
4th WMRD will bring the international lecturer:
