The Distance Geometry Problem asks for a realization of a given weighted graph in $\mathbb{R}^K$. Two variants of this problem, both originating from protein conformation, are based on a given vertex order (which abstracts the protein…
This chapter is dedicated to the so-called cuspidal robots, i.e. those robots that can move from one inverse geometric solution to another without meeting a singular confuguration. This feature was discovered quite recently and has then…
To reliably model real robot characteristics, interval linear systems of equations allow to describe families of problems that consider sets of values. This allows to easily account for typical complexities such as sets of joint states and…
Robots navigating indoor environments often have access to architectural plans, which can serve as prior knowledge to enhance their localization and mapping capabilities. While some SLAM algorithms leverage these plans for global…
Graph Edit Distance (GED) is a fundamental, albeit NP-hard, metric for structural graph similarity. Recent neural graph matching architectures approximate GED by first encoding graphs with a Graph Neural Network (GNN) and then applying…
How do we move a robot efficiently from one position to another? To answer this question, we need to understand its configuration space, a 'map' where we can find every possible position of the robot. Unfortunately, these maps are very…
Computationally efficient solutions for pseudometrics quantifying deviation from topological conjugacy between dynamical systems are presented. Deviation from conjugacy is quantified in a Pareto optimal sense that accounts for spectral…
