2nd IMA Conference on Mathematics of Robotics

by William Holderbaum (Editor), J. M. Selig (Editor)

Overview

This book highlights the mathematical depth and sophistication of techniques used in different areas of robotics. Each chapter is a peer-reviewed version of a paper presented during the 2021 IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Robotics, held online September 8–10, 2021. The conference gave a platform to researchers with fundamental contributions and for academic and to share new ideas. The book illustrates some of the current interest in advanced mathematics and robotics such as algebraic geometry, tropical geometry, monodromy and homotopy continuation methods applied to areas such as kinematics, path planning, swam robotics,  dynamics and control.

It is hoped that the conference and this publications will stimulate further related mathematical research in robotics.
