A Rendering Method for 3D Origami Models Using Face Overlapping Relations
When we construct a model of origami (a model of a folded sheet of paper) in a computer, it is usual to represent the model as a set of polygons having zero thickness. One of the t...

Two-dimensional Scanning Tactile Display using Ultrasound Radiation Pressure
In this paper, we propose a new tactile display which produces spatio-temporal stress patterns on a 2-D plane. The first prototype of the display consists of an octagonal arrange...

Planning for Steerable Bevel-tip Needle Insertion Through 2D Soft Tissue with Obstacles
— We explore motion planning for a new class of highly flexible bevel-tip medical needles that can be steered to previously unreachable targets in soft tissue. Planning for thes...
