: We study the problem of fixturing a chain of hinged objects in a given placement with frictionless point contacts. We define the notions of immobility and robust immobility, wh...

: The immobilization of non-rigid objects is currently an active research area in robotics. This paper explores the problem by studying the immobilization of serial chains of rigid...
We show several natural questions about hinged dissections of polygons to be PSPACE-hard. The most basic of these is: Given a hinged set of pieces and two configurations for them...

: We study the output-sensitive computations of all the combinations of the edges and vertices of a simple polygon P that allow a form closure grasp with less than four point conta...
