Robotics is at the cusp of dramatic transformation. Increasingly
complex robots with unprecedented autonomy are finding new
applications, from medical surgery, to construction, to home
services. Against this background, the algorithmic foundations of
robotics are becoming more crucial than ever, in order to build
robots that are fast, safe, reliable, and adaptive. Algorithms
enable robots to perceive, plan, control, and learn. The design and
analysis of robot algorithms raise new fundamental questions that
span computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering, and mathematics. These algorithms are also finding
applications beyond robotics, for example, in modeling molecular
motion and creating digital characters for video games and
architectural simulation. The Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations
of Robotics (WAFR) is a highly selective meeting of leading
researchers in the field of robot algorithms. Since its creation in
1994, it has published some of the field's most important and
lasting contributions. This book contains the proceedings of the
9th WAFR, held on December 13-15, 2010 at the National University
of Singapore. The 24 papers included in this book span a wide
variety of topics from new theoretical insights to novel
applications.

This anthology is based on the First ACM Workshop on Applied
Computational Geometry, WACG '96, held in Philadelphia, PA, USA, in
May 1996, as part of the FCRC Conference.
Today, CG is in transition and applied computational geometry has
established itself as a fertile meeting ground for theorists from
core computational geometry and practitioners from the potential
application areas to exchange their ideas and identify issues of
common interest. The book presents 11 invited contributions and
state-of-the-art reports by leading experts together with 12
refereed full papers selected from 32 submissions. It points the
way towards geometrical engineering and addresses researchers and
professionals sharing an interest in geometric algorithms and
techniques and their use in computational sciences and engineering.
