S4) GA and Robotics
Organizers: Jian S. Dai, Zijia Li, Harald Löwe, Shimin Wei
Geometric Algebra (GA) provides a coordinate-free language for representing geometric objects and transformations, offering elegant solutions to complex problems in robotics. This special session aims to bring together algebra researchers and roboticists to explore the latest advancements and applications of GA across all facets of robotics.
We invite submissions with topics of interest include, but not limited to, conformal geometric algebra for perception and interaction, and for reconfigurable mechanisms, geometric algebra for inverse kinematics, Grassmann line geometry in kinematics, projective geometric algebra for dynamics and trajectory, manifold learning, applications in parallel, serial and reconfigurable manipulators, and the development of GA-based frameworks for simulation and control. The session will serve as a forum to discuss how GA's computational elegance can overcome challenges in modern robotics, paving the way for more intuitive and powerful robotic systems.
We look forward to your submissions.
