Qualitative Rigid Body Mechanics
We present a theory of qualitative rigid body mechanics and describe a program that uses this theory to compute qualitative dynamic simulations.1 The program works directly from a...

Describing Rigid Body Motions in a Qualitative Theory of Spatial Regions
We explore the expressive power of a recently developed qualitative region-based geometry and apply it to the problem of representing and reasoning about the motion of rigid bodie...

Mixing Deformable and Rigid-Body Mechanics Simulation
This article presents a new method to achieve heterogeneous physical simulation, within the same global system, of both deformable and rigid-bodies objects, whatever their intrins...

Haptic Rendering of Planar Rigid-Body Motion using a Redundant Parallel Mechanism
We present a system for rendering planar rigid-body motion by means of a redundant parallel mechanism. The device design, the control architecture and the passive virtual environm...
