Rigidity theory constitutes a branch of knowledge investigating the (structural) properties necessary for multi-element systems to preserve the inter-unit connections under deformations. This turns out to be a formal as well as a valid tool for understanding how pairwise geometrical constraints (e.g., relative distances or angles) can affect the mobility or state (pose) estimation and control of dynamic systems composed of multiple connected elements. In light of this fact, this workshop aims at encouraging the discussion between robotics and control communities. The intent is to figure out the similarities emerging in the rigidity-based estimation and control tasks related to both parallel robots and multi-agent formations, given that these two types of dynamic systems can be interpreted as multi-element architectures wherein the inter-unit connections are physical and virtual, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This workshop is in continuity with the two previous ones titled \u201cRigidity Theory for Multi-agent Systems Meet Parallel Robots – Towards the Discovery of Common Models and Methods\u201d, organized the first during the IFAC WC Congress in July 2017 in Toulouse and the second as an under-invitation event in November 2018 in Nantes. Specifically, the former intended to provide a high-level overview (in terms of open problems, tools, methods, and ideas) of the parallel robots and multi-agent formations worlds; the latter focused on the nature of the constraints characterizing both the aforementioned types of multi-element dynamic systems. With these premises, the purpose of this third workshop is to draw out the rigidity-based techniques that turn out to be beneficial for the emerging applications in both the robotics and control communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
