Researchers on real geometry focus on applications in robotics and vision and bring to the task a variety of problems, aspects, and methods from such fields as topology and algebra. The 17 papers discuss real holomorphy rings, the Gabrielov theorem for subpfaffian sets, constructing real algebra nodal plane curves with a given topology, a new canonical algorithm of resolution of singularities, and other topics.
