This Week's Finds in Second-Order Differential Equations on Manifolds and Geometric Control Theory

So, we had to do a thing in my Fundamentals of Engineering I class about how we got into STEM. I put down the parts about being singled-ou...

I may have some very exciting news to post in a week or two. Hint: https://www.mathworks.com/help/robotics/inverse-kinematics.html

My Modern Robotics book by Lynch and Park  https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1107156300/ just arrived! It is truly the best bridge between manif...

So, I've been thinking about transformation matrices $_{i+1}^iT$ used in robotics engineering, their relationships to the representat...

Here is my heuristic algorithm for applying manifold topology to system dynamics, control engineering, and (I think) robotics in general. Fo...

(So, this is an unbelievably naïve attempt at understanding the conjecture; I literally just heard about it for the first time today.) (Bef...

 So, I had been told a bajillion times at topology math conferences that robotics is a big area for applications of manifold topology and g...
