Dear Subscribers,

We continue our quest for discovering new labs and companies involved in the
research on parallel mechanisms. This week, the list of new links is quite
lengthy. Some of the links point to web pages that present innovative
applications in various domains.

Thanks to Luc Rolland from LORIA, the French version of the Terminology section
is already available. We plan to include German, Italian, and Spanish versions
as well.

Yours sincerely,

Ilian Bonev
