Mechanism Science (MS) has been the core of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering since the beginning of engineering practice yet in modern times. A short survey is presented to outline the main characteristics of MS and its evolution also with the aim to identify challenges and role of MS in future developments of technology for the benefit of the society. The community of IFToMM working in MS is presented with his identity and role. Modern systems with mechatronic features still need a careful attention from mechanism design viewpoints to properly achieve goals of forwarding technological developments in helping or substituting human operators in their activi-ties.

Abstract
Mechanism Science (MS) has been the core of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering since the beginning of engineering practice yet in modern times. A short survey is presented to outline the main characteristics of MS and its evolution also with the aim to identify challenges and role of MS in future developments of technology for the benefit of the society. The community of IFToMM working in MS is presented with his identity and role. Modern systems with mechatronic features still need a careful attention from mechanism design viewpoints to properly achieve goals of forwarding technological developments in helping or substituting human operators in their activi-ties.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
