The terminology ‘Symbolic Dynamics’ is used in robotics when the dynamics of robots is described by symbolic expressions using symbolic variables that do not have numerical values. The computation of these expressions must be done using specific software. The symbolic output can constitute a computation program to get the numerical solution after assigning the numerical values for the necessary constants and variables of the problem.

Mots clés: Explicit dynamics
