Joshua Flight Receives the Best Theoretical Award at the 2026 MMT Symposium

We are pleased to announce that Joshua Flight, a graduate student at Université Laval's Robotics Laboratory, received the Best Theoretical Award at the 2026 MMT Symposium (60th Anniversary of Mechanism and Machine Theory), held in Porto, Portugal, from June 21 to 23, 2026. The Best Theoretical award recognizes the symposium's most outstanding theoretical contribution.

The award was presented for the paper Feasible Wrench Sets of Redundant Parallel Manipulators, co-authored by Joshua Flight and Clément Gosselin.

This recognition highlights the excellence of the research conducted at the Robotics Laboratory in the fields of parallel manipulators and robotics. The paper presents a theoretical contribution on the feasible wrench sets of redundant parallel manipulators, an important topic for analyzing their force-generation capabilities and guiding their design.

Congratulations to Joshua Flight and Professor Clément Gosselin on this international recognition, which recognizes the quality of their research.
