View planning for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and inspection solves the problem of finding an efficient sequence of views allowing complete and high quality reconstructi...

Abstract-- Motion planning of deformable objects is challenging due to the high degrees-of-freedom inherent in deformation as well as the computational cost of producing physically...
Instabilities of robot motion are caused by topological reasons. In this paper we find a relation between the topological properties of a configuration space (the structure of its...
Abstract-- In an earlier paper [3], we addressed the problem of stabilization of the rolling sphere about any desired configuration. For the controller proposed in [3], we establis...
Hand tracking is a challenging problem due to the complexity of searching in a 20+ degrees of freedom (DOF) space for an optimal estimation of hand configuration. This paper repres...
Our goal is to embed free-form constraints into a graphical model. With such constraints a graphic can maintain its visual integrity--and break rules tastefully--while being manip...
