Guest EditorialIntroduction to the Focused Section on Anthropomorphism in Mechatronic Systems

This focused section is dedicated to new advances in modeling, design, analysis, control, implementation, and validation of such anthropomorphic mechatronic systems as we pursue the dream of reaching the level of mobility, manipulation, fluidity, and expressivity of humans. This collection of nine multidisciplinary papers examines the role of anthropomorphism in inspiring and informing the design and control of mechatronic systems.
