A 25-hour, ECTS-accredited summer school on parallel kinematic manipulators, cable-driven and continuum robots, hosted by LIRMM in Montpellier.
The 4th Summer School on Parallel Kinematic Manipulators (PKM 2026) is a 25-hour doctoral-level course (4 ECTS credits via the University of Montpellier's I2S Doctoral School) covering parallel and hybrid serial-parallel robot architectures, screw theory, cable-driven systems, continuum robots, and singularity analysis — contrasted with conventional serial architectures (anthropomorphic, SCARA, gantry). Organized by LIRMM (Ahmed Chemori) with JKU Linz's Institute of Robotics (Andreas Müller), featuring international lecturers.
