The fields of controls and robotics have, to a significant extent, grown out of the successful breeding and application of mathematical theories of different nature. Even apparently distant abstract subjects; such as, Geometry and Algebraic Topology, have found their way into novel applications in these engineering fields, provoking new theoretical questions in their own disciplines. This workshop intends to bring together experts in the fields of geometry, algebraic topology, mechanics, controls and robotics, with the purpose of disseminating state-of-the-art results and current trends in these intersecting areas. The target audience for the workshop are: (i) graduate students in both engineering and mathematics (e.g., robotics, control, dynamical systems); (ii) researchers in application areas such as motion planning of robotic systems; (iii) Â researchers in any of the aforementioned fields; and (iv) teachers interested in the content of the mini-courses for the preparation of possible (graduate/undergraduate) courses La Cristalera residence is located in Miraflores de la Sierra, in the mountains near Madce of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, located in Miraflores de la Sierra (La Cristalera) a nice mountain resort 50 km out of the city of Madrid Mini-courses Geometric network modeling and control of complex physical systems by Arjan van der Schaft (Johann Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Groningen) Topological methods for robotics & control by Robert Ghrist (University of Pennsylvania) Confirmed Invited speakers John Baillieul (Boston University, USA) Tony Bloch (University of Michigan, USA) Roger Brockett (Harvard University, USA) Jean-Michel Coron (Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, France) Michael Farber University of Durham (UK) Dan Koditschek (University of Pennsylvania, USA) Yizhar Or (Israel Institute of Technology) Aniceto Murillo (University of Malaga, Spain) |
