The organizing committee of the 16th World Congress of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science is very pleased to welcome you in Tokyo. The IFToMM World Congress is held every 4 years and is the largest congress on mechanism and machine science. It provides an opportunity for researchers, scholars and students with interests in the theory and practice of mechanisms and machines for sharing new ideas, experiences, and discussing future developments.
