In this paper we propose a new model for gripping parts with an industrial parallel-jaw gripper. In contrast to many previous models, we use two grip points and define candidate g...

Abstract. We present data structures for maintaining the relative convex hull of a set of points (sites) in the presence of pairwise non-crossing line segments (barriers) that subd...
Abstract. Given two simplicial complexes C1 and C2 embedded in Euclidean space IRd , C1 subdivides C2 if (i) C1 and C2 have the same underlying space, and (ii) every simplex in C1 ...
We present a new algorithm for simplifying the shape of 3D objects by manipulating their medial axis transform (MAT). From an unorganized set of boundary points, our algorithm com...
We study the problem of computing the set F of accessible and stable placements of a spider robot. The body of this robot is a single point and the legs are line segments attached...
