The enthusiastic feedback from the first three very successful Summer Screws events (in Genoa, in Shanghai, and again in Genoa) proves that this initiative continues to provide a service that the robotics community values. This year, with the support of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society we are able to bring the school <br>to a new part of the world and, for the first time, to offer financial support to some participants. <br> <br>Summer Screws 2013 (or should we call it Spring Screws) will gather six experts in the robotics applications of screw theory and up to 40 participants at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil from 19 to 27 October. The school will teach attendees how to apply existing methods and empower them to develop new ones in their own research. The basic theoretical notions will be introduced in a rigorous <br>manner, with emphasis on examples, applications, and exercises. <br> <br>The main topics will be: <br> <br>1. Basic vector-space properties of twists and wrenches: physical interpretation of the linear operations; linear dependence and independence, subspaces; bases and coordinates. (Lecturer: Dimiter Zlatanov) <br> <br>2. Scalar products, dual spaces, reciprocity. Constraint and freedom in mechanisms. Constraint analysis, type synthesis of single loop mechanisms, type synthesis of parallel manipulators. (Lecturer: Xianwen Kong) <br> <br>3. Velocity and singularity analysis of parallel and interconnected-chain mechanisms. Derivation of input-output velocity equations and singularity <br>conditions. (Lecturers: Matteo Zoppi and Dimiter Zlatanov) <br> <br>4. Mappings between screw spaces, stiffness and inertia. Structure of robot compliance. Eigenvalue problems and eigenscrews. Synthesis with springs. (Lecturer: Harvey Lipkin) <br> <br>5. 6D formulation of the dynamics of individual rigid bodies and rigid-body systems. Equations of motion. Dynamics algorithms. (Lecturer: Roy Featherstone) <br> <br>6. Basic Lie group theory, matrix representations of the group of rigid-body displacements. Lie algebras as related to screw theory. The exponential map and its applications in modern robotics. (Lecturer: Jon Selig) <br> <br>Up to 40 registrations are available at the price of 350 USD, no later than 31 July, 2013. Scholarship applications will be accepted until 30 June, 2013.
