note = "Funding Information: Jorge Angeles acknowledges the financial support received from Canada{\textquoteright}s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) throughout his academic career in Canada. Indeed, NSERC{\textquoteright}s Discovery Grant program allowed him to hire top talent at the Robotic Mechanical Systems Laboratory (RMSLab), McGill University, since the mid-1980s. Various graduate students and visiting fellows contributed, with their work, to the development of ideas which, eventually, found their way into the book. A complete list of these trainees is available in the RMSLab web page.1 Funding Information: Shaoping Bai acknowledges Danish national and EU funding bodies, including Innovationsfonden, Independent Research Fund Denmark, and EU AAL Programme, among others, for providing financial support for research in innovative mechanisms and exoskeletons at Aalborg University, Denmark. He acknowledges also collaboration with local industry and international universities, such as PN Beslag Fabric and Dalian University of Technology, among others, which motivated research topics on linkage synthesis and applications.",
