Conference Description:
Geometric mechanics is an interpretation of classical mechanics that relies on contemporary geometric techniques, such as Riemannian, symplectic, and Poisson geometry, Lie groups, fiber bundles, nonintegrable distributions, differential forms and exterior differential calculus, and global analysis, in the theoretical development of the subject and in studying specific mechanical systems. Geometric mechanics has become a useful tool by itself and as a foundation of control of nonlinear physical systems, robotics, intelligent manufacturing, and structurepreserving computational mechanics. The conference will focus on current and future trends in geometric mechanics and control, foster international collaboration, and bring graduate students to the field.
Conference Goals:
- To bring together prominent researchers and to foster exchange of ideas in the field
- To highlight urgent and future trends in geometric mechanics and control
- To emphasize the importance of geometric methods in structure-preserving integration of mechanical systems and control theory, with application to robotics, multibody systems, and intelligent swarming control
- To promote and establish international collaboration and collaboration with engineers, both theoretical and practical
- To attract students to the field, building up on initial training in geometric mechanics courses offered by some of the organizers and participants in their institutions
