This volume collects the papers published on the Special Issue Kinematics and Robot Design I, KaRD2018 (https: //www.mdpi.com/journal/robotics/special\_issues/KARD), which is the first issue of the KaRD Special Issue series, hosted by the open access journal MDPI Robotics .

The KaRD series aims at creating an open environment where researchers can present their works and discuss all the topics focused on the many aspects that involve kinematics in the design of robotic/automatic systems. Kinematics is so intimately related to the design of robotic/automatic systems that the admitted topics of the KaRD series practically cover all the subjects normally present in well-established international conferences on mechanisms and robotics .

KaRD2018 received 22 papers and, after the peer-review process, accepted only 14 papers. The accepted papers cover some theoretical and many design/applicative aspects.
