Algorithms are a fundamental component of robotic systems: they control or reason about motion and perception in the physical world. They receive input from noisy sensors, consider geometric and physical constraints, and operate on the world through imprecise actuators. The design and analysis of robot algorithms therefore raises a unique combination of questions in control theory, computational and differential geometry, and computer science.
geometry processing%d?onference symposium workshop. The fifth Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing will be held on July 4 to 6, 2007 in Barcelona, Spain. The goal of the meeting is to present and discuss new research ideas and results in Geometry Processing. This research field is geared towards the creation of mathematical foundations and practical algorithms for the processing of complex geometric data sets, ranging from acquisition and editing all the way to animation, transmission.
