Wanted- Topologists for Autonomous Robots Community
Offered By: Applied Algebraic Topology Network via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intersection of topology and robotics in this thought-provoking lecture by Dan Guralnik. Delve into the concept of Topological Complexity (TC) and its fundamental role in addressing robotic path planning challenges. Discover how technological advancements have expanded the scope of robotic tasks and the urgent need for characterizing complex environments. Examine the limitations of current engineering approaches, including brute-force and machine learning-based solutions. Through a survey of ongoing research, gain insights into the potential for Topological Complexity to revolutionize the field of Robotic Autonomy. Learn about the opportunities for topologists to contribute to rigorous formulations of task-spaces and complexity studies, particularly in scenarios involving environment topology and combinatorics, such as cooperative motion in obstructed environments.
