Proceedings of the Second Workshop on Computational Kinematics Held in Sophia Antipolis, France, September 4-6, 1995.
The trends and progress attained in computational kinematics over a broad class of problems are grouped into six parts describing the main themes:
kinematics algorithms, discussing kinematics problems in light of their solution algorithms;
kinematics of mechanisms, studying problems related to specific mechanisms;
singularities;
workspace, discussing the determination of the workspace of given mechanisms;
parallel manipulators;
motion and grasp planning, touching on computational geometry.
The volume contains a representative sample of the most modern techniques available for kinetics problems, including techniques based on recent advances in algebraic geometry.
