Abstract

Prof. Carlos López-Cajún has been a prestigious figure, who has been admired worldwide also for his unique attitude to combine friendships and scientific activity in working the true spirit of IFToMM for collaboration, sharing, and improving the technology for the benefit of the society in the welfare of human beings. Prof. Carlos López-Cajún has been a great IFToMMist contributing and significantly supporting activities of the Permanent Commission of History of MMS in organization of events and exploration of the history of IFToMM and MMS with very valuable publications. Prof. López-Cajún devoted his acquired knowledge and expertise to the mechanical design, mainly on kinematic optimization of mechanisms, robotics and synchronization of mechanical systems publishing valuable results in papers in recognized journals, books and proceedings of international congresses. He served IFToMM as Member of the PC on History of MMS, member of the Executive Council and also as Secretary General. Moreover, he participated in the organization of the 13th IFToMM World Congress in 2011, and many among many other initiatives he also organized the HMM2016 Symposium in his city Queretaro in 2016.
