Abstract

An overview of current activity related to mechanism and machine research and development in Mexico is presented. Examples of some significant accomplishments are described to illustrate this activity. Historical trends and events that have been influential in promoting work in this area are identified. These include the creation of the National Council for Science and Technology, the implementation of post graduate educational programs, the creation of the Mexican IFToMM Commission, and the establishment of a considerable number of government and private research centers.
