Computing fence designs for orienting parts
A common task in automated manufacturing processes is to orient parts prior to assembly. We consider sensorless orientation of a polygonal part by a sequence of fences. We show th...

Intractability of Assembly Sequencing: Unit Disks in the Plane
We consider the problem of removing a given disk from a collection of unit disks in the plane. At each step, we allow a disk to be removed by a collision-free translation to infin...
