ct A simple gripper with two vertical cylindrical jaws can make contact with external or internal concavities in polygonal and polyhedral parts to align and grip parts in form clos...
Abstract— The vibratory bowl feeder remains the most common approach to the automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts. We study the algorithmic design of devices on the b...

Industrial assembly involves sensing the pose (orientation and position) of a part. Efficient and reliable sensing strategies can be developed for an assembly task if the shape of...
-- The initial resting pose of many industrial parts differs from the orientation desired for assembly. We show that it is possible to align parts during grasping using a standard ...
Extremal surfaces are a class of implicit surfaces that have been found useful in a variety of geometry reconstruction applications. Compared to iso-surfaces, extremal surfaces ar...
