Geometric Problems in Molecular Biology and Robotics

Someof the geometric problemsof interest to molecular biologists havemacroscopicanaloguesin the field of robotics. Twoexamples of such analogies are those between protein docking and model-basedperception, and betweenring closure and inverse kinematics. Moleculardynamicssimulation, too, has muchin commonwith the study of robot dynamics. In this paper wegive a brief survey of recent workon these and related problems.
