Some Geometry for Robot Kinematics

J.M. Selig, London South Bank University.
DAte: 26th January, 2023, Time: 14:00.
Place: Dokuz Eylül Üniv., Tınaztepe Yerleşkesi, Fen Fak. Matematik Böl.

Abstract:The talk will begin with a brief review of dual quaternions and the realisation of the group of rigid-body displacements by the Study quadric. Next we look at some linear subspaces of the Study quadric and their interpretation as sets of displacements. Following this we will describe some sets of displacements that are intersections of the Study quadric with linear subspaces of the surrounding P^7. Then we will discuss some Segre varieties. These can be realised by simple serial linkages. A final extended example shows how some of these ideas can be used to solve problems in the theory of mechanisms.

Quaternions, Dual Quaternions and Clifford algebras

J.M. Selig, London South Bank University.
Date: 24th January, 2023, Time: 14:00.
Place: Dokuz Eylül Üniv., Tınaztepe Yerleşkesi, Fen Fak. Matematik Böl.

Abstract:After a brief review of Hamilton’s quaternions and how they can be used to represent rotations, Clifford’s dual quaternions will be discussed. The use of this algebra to represent rigid-body displacements will be explained. As will the relation to the Study quadric. The representation of twists, infinitesimal rigid-body displacements, will also be considered. Finally, the notion of Clifford algebras will be introduced and various examples will be considered. In particular, examples rep-resenting the algebra of 3-dimensional Euclidean geometry will be outlined.

İzmir Mathematic Days – III

İzmir Mathematics Days – III October 1-2, 2020

İMG 2020

Workshop webpage: http://img.deu.edu.tr/en/

One of two aims of İzmir Mathematics Days is to provide a platform for graduate students to share their works, ideas and experiences and to build research and mentoring networks. The other one is to encourage undergraduate math majors to pursue a career in Mathematics.

In the morning sessions, four colloquium talks will be given by the invited speakers to introduce their research of interests. The afternoon sessions are devoted to graduate students and young researchers. All students are welcome to apply.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will be held ONLINE.

All abstracts must be same language with talk. The talk can be either in English or in Turkish but this must be clearly stated in the submission process.

Invited Speakers 

Ali Sinan Sertöz  (Bilkent University)

Fatma Altunbulak Aksu (Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University)

Kağan Kurşungöz (Sabancı University)

Münevver Tezer (Middle East Technical University)
