This paper describes SimRobot, a robot simulator which is able to simulate arbitrary user-defined robots in three-dimensional space. It includes a physical model which is based on...
A 3D pendulum consists of a rigid body, supported at a fixed pivot, with three rotational degrees of freedom. The pendulum is acted on by a gravitational force. Symmetry assumptio...

Simulation of dynamic systems possessing unilateral frictional contacts is important to many industrial applications. While rigid body models are often employed, it is well establ...
We propose a novel approach to dynamic simulation of grasps that overcomes di culties due to inconsistencies in the forward dynamics problem. The key idea in the paper is a minima...
A new extremal distance tracking algorithm is presented for parametric curves and surfaces undergoing rigid body motion. The essentially geometric extremization problem is transfo...
