This project will explore the encoding and control of robotic tasks             which require significant interaction with rather challenging                   environments involving unertainties of geometry, kinematics, and                dynamics, including such complex tasks as throwing, catching, juggling,         pouring liquids, and wielding hand tools.  The approach will combine            symbolic manipulation with numerical computation, and will evaluate the         tradeoffs between the increased expressivity of the symbolic                    computations and the mathematically provable convergence of the                 numerical ones.
