Manifold-valued Thin-Plate Splines with Applications in Computer Graphics
We present a generalization of thin-plate splines for interpolation and approximation of manifold-valued data, and demonstrate its usefulness in computer graphics with several app...

Self-Motions of General 3-RPR Planar Parallel Robots
We study the kinematic geometry of general 3-RPR planar parallel robots with actuated base joints. These robots, while largely overlooked, have simple direct kinematics and large ...

Generalized approximate counting revisited
A large class of q-distributions is defined on the stochastic model of Bernoulli trials in which the probability of success (=advancing to the next level) depends geometrically on...

Curved folding
Fascinating and elegant shapes may be folded from a single planar sheet of material without stretching, tearing or cutting, if one incorporates curved folds into the design. We pr...

Quadrilateral mesh simplification
We introduce a simplification algorithm for meshes composed of quadrilateral elements. It is reminiscent of edge-collapse based methods for triangle meshes, but takes a novel appr...
