NaCoMM Conferences lay emphasis on theoretical aspects and experimental studies relating to machinery. The first NaCoMM Conference, NaCoMM 81 was held at IIT Bombay in 1981. The topics discussed in NaCoMM are as follows:

• Kinematics and dynamics of machines

• Robotics and automation

 • CAD and other related subjects

• Gear, Cams and power transmission systems

 • Control of machines

 • Vibration of Machines

 • Rotor dynamics and tribology

 • Condition monitoring and failure analysis

 • Surface treatments for mechanical components

 • Man – Machine System, Mechatronics and Micro – Mechanisms

From the Year 2013, the conference is being conducted as a International and National Conference on Machines and Mechanisms (iNaCoMM).

Industrial Problems on Machines and Mechanisms (IPRoMM):

IPRoMM essentially concentrates on industrial problems and practical solutions to the design of machines in specific areas. The workshops held so far have covered textile, mechanical handling agricultural machinery and home appliances. The latest IPRoMM covers precision instruments and micro–mechanisms. The first IPRoMM , IPRoMM 86, was held in December 1986 at ATIRA in Ahmedabad.

Other Activities:

One prominent activity of AMM is the organization of the best design project contest for students. The hosts of a Conference invite students to submit papers based on their B.E./M.E./B.Tech./M.Tech. projects and present awards to the best design projects. Two such contests have been conducted so far, one in Mumbai (NaCoMM  87) and one in Nagpur (IPRoMM 89).

Student Mechanism Design Contest (SMDC) :

One of the key objectives of AMM is to promote innovation among the students. Towards this end, a mechanism design contest has been made an integral part of NaCoMM since 2009. The purpose of the competition is to encourage the students to apply their theoretical knowledge in the domain of mechanisms and machines to solve problems relevant to the society.
