Understanding Mechanical Motion: From Images to Behaviors
We present an algorithm for producing behavior descriptions of planar fixed axes mechanical motions from image sequences using a formal behavior language. The language, which cove...

Needle Insertion Modelling for the Interactive Simulation of Percutaneous Procedures
Abstract. A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. The insertion model simulates three-degree-of-freedom needle motion, physically-based needle forces,...

An Investigation into Non-Smooth Locomotion
We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...

Modeling and controllability for a class of hybrid mechanical systems
Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...

MRSAM: a Quadratically Competitive Multi-robot Online Navigation Algorithm
— We explore an online problem where a group of robots has to find a target whose position is unknown in an unknown planar environment whose geometry is acquired by the robots d...
