| Jun 29, 2012 at 11:56 | comment | added | Patricia Hersh | My understanding is that real algebraic geometry is used to study e.g. the positions a robot arm with various joints and segment lengths can take by expressing this as a system of polynomial equations to solve, whereas topologists such as Ghrist have used the notion of configuration space for e.g. studying how several robots could move around a factory floor (perhaps on a set of tracks and/or with obstacles) without bumping into each other. | |

| Mar 6, 2011 at 16:39 | comment | added | Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson | There mere fact that algebraic geometry, too, is used to understand configuration spaces in robotics does not mean that algebraic topological techniques are not also in use. | |

Persistent homology in particular is a rapidly developing locus of applied algebraic topology which has attracted the attention of some big names like Shmuel Weinberger and Stephen Smale. | |
