Whole body adhesion: hierarchical, directional and distributed control of adhesive forces for a climbing robot
— We describe the design and control of a new bio-inspired climbing robot designed to scale smooth vertical surfaces using directional adhesive materials. The robot, called Stick...

Surface Models of Tube Trees
This paper describes a new method for generating surfaces of branching tubular structures with given centerlines and radii. As the centerlines are not straight lines, the cross-se...

Polygonization of non-manifold implicit surfaces
A method is presented to broaden implicit surface modeling. The implicit surfaces usually employed in computer graphics are two dimensional manifolds because they are defined by r...

Painting Gradients: Free-form Surface Design Using Shading Patterns
An interactive system for designing curved surfaces is proposed which is based on direct manipulation of a single-view shaded image of this surface. Apart from functions like carv...
