Geometric and Numerical Foundations of Movements , Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017
Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics Series, Vol. 117

This book aims at gathering roboticists, control theorists, neuroscientists, and mathematicians, in order to promote a multidisciplinary research on movement analysis. It follows the workshop ? Geometric and Numerical Foundations of Movements ? held at LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse in November 2015[1]. Its objective is to lay the foundations for a mutual understanding that is essential for synergetic development in motion research. In particular, the book promotes applications to robotics --and control in general-- of new optimization techniques based on recent results from real algebraic geometry.
