Braun, Sethu Vijayakumar -- This book aims at gathering roboticists, control theorists, neuroscientists, and mathematicians, in order to promote a multidisciplinary research on movement analysis. It follows the workshop 'Geometric and Numerical Foundations of Movements' held at LAAS-CNRS in Toulouse in November 2015. Its objective is to lay the foundations for a mutual understanding that is essential for synergetic development in motion research. In particular, the book promotes applications to robotics - and control in general - of new optimization techniques based on recent results from real algebraic geometry.
