'''Research'''
 The basic research interests of J. Lenarčič are in robotics, robot kinematics, biorobotics and humanoid robotics. His contributions are in modelling and simulation of robots, mathematical evaluation and optimization of robot mechanisms, modelling of human upper extremity and control of redundant robots. He is a member of editorial boards in a number of international journals (he currently is an Associated Editor in Theory of Machines and Mechanisms) and served as guest editor in special issues. He edited a series of international books on Advances in Robot Kinematics and contributed to international encyclopedias. He is co-author of the books "Robot Mechanisms" and "Robotics", both published in Slovenian and in English by Springer. <<BR>><<BR>>
