8月17至20日，美国机械工程协会2014国际设计和工程技术会议在美国纽约州水牛城召开，会上颁发了2014年度ASME达芬奇奖（2014 Leonardo Da Vinci Award）。上海交通大学机械与动力工程学院的高峰教授成为第一位获得此项殊荣的亚洲人，也是第一位来自美国和加拿大以外的获奖者。

高峰教授在设计400吨米有效载荷的六自由度并联机构方面取得了杰出成就，这种并联机构用于制造超大型锻件产品，被广泛认为是锻造业在机械设计方面的一项突破。

ASME达芬奇奖设立于1978年，以奖励在产品设计和发明中取得杰出成就，并在机械设计中的重要进步得到国际广泛认可的专家，迄今共有36位获奖者。

附2004年以来ASME达芬奇奖获奖者情况：

1. 2004: Alexander Slocum, Neil and Jane Pappalardo Professor of Mechanical Engineering MacVicar Faculty Fellow, MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering.

2. 2005: Given to a team of 9 engineers from NASA for their invention of Mars Rover.

3. 2009: S.V. Sreenivasan, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Thornton Centennial Fellow in Engineering, UT Austin, Founder and CTO of Molecular Imprints Inc for his invention of Jet and Flash™ Imprint Lithography (J-FIL™) technology.

4. 2010: Shorya Awtar, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, U of Michigan, for his invention of FlexDex TM – a novel mechanical technology platform that, for the first time, offers enhanced dexterity, intuitive control, and natural force feedback in minimally invasive surgical procedures at an affordable price.

5. 2013: Mohan Bodduluri, co-founder and CTO of Restoration Robotics, for his invention of the revolutionary ARTAS(R) Robotic System, the first and only FDA-cleared, physician-controlled, computer-assisted technology for hair transplantation.

6. 2014: Feng Gao, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, for his invention of a 6-DOF parallel manipulator with 400t-m payload for manufacturing extra large forgings that is widely recognized as a breakthrough in machine design for the forging industry.
