Pavan Turaga is an invited speaker at the 'Geometry and Topology in Robotics' workshop in conjunction with R:SS 2021, and also at BodySys 2021 held in conjunction with MobiSys 2021. The talks present mathematical techniques from differential geometry, topology, and function analysis for these varied applications.
