The computation of the homology groups of semialgebraic sets (given by Boolean formulas) remains one of the open challenges of computational semialgebraic geometry. Despite the search for an algorithm taking singly exponential time only on the number of variables, as of today, the existing algorithms are symbolic and doubly exponential. In this PhD thesis, we show how to obtain a numerical algorithm running in single exponential time with very high probability, which improves the state-of-the-art. To do so, we explain the underlying ideas, methods and techniques from numerical algebraic geometry, numerical complexity and topological data analysis that made this progress possible. We finish with a list of open problems and questions pointing to a possible future of the numerical computation of topological invariants. Additionally, in the appendices, we cover the topic of the expected number of real zeros of a random fewnomial system and we give an accessible account of the central theme in Spanish.
