This paper describes an efficient algorithm for computing the distance between non-convex objects. Objects are modeled as the union of a set of convex components. From this model ...
This paper provides an overview of our selection process for proximity sensors for manipulator collision avoidance. Five categories of sensors have been considered for this use in...
The e ect of redundant sensors in the solution of the direct kinematics of general parallel manipulators is studied here, for purposes of on-line implementation. We describe three...
In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of location of inspection centers in a multistage manufacturing system. A Genetic algorithm based approach is developed to determi...
We describe a cost-effective method for developing parallel architectures which increase the performance of range and image sensors. A parametrised edge detector and its systolic ...
