Abstract— This paper discusses the non-grasp dynamic manipulation of a deformable object inspired by the handling mechanism of pizza master. The master handles a tool where a pla...
We define a novel metric on the space of closed planar curves which decomposes into three intuitive components. According to this metric centroid translations, scale changes and ...

Modeling moving and deforming objects requires capturing as much information as possible during a very short time. When using off-the-shelf hardware, this often hinders the resolu...
While we have previously reported on multiscale segmentation of single-figure anatomic objects from medical images by deformable m-rep models, here we report on a method of segmen...

Abstract— This paper models (large) deformations of shelllike objects under the grasping of a robot hand. Classical nonlinear theory of thin shells [21, pp. 186-194] is generaliz...
