In many computer graphics and computer-aided design problems, it is very common to find a smooth and well structured surface to fit a set of unstructured 3-dimensional data. Altho...
— We propose a new method of tactile sensing for a fingertip of robotic hand based on the analysis of the mechanical constraints imposed to the contact between the fingertip an...
A simple conceptual design process that runs in a virtual environment is described. The design process consists of three stages. In each of the first two stages used to create, an...
In this article we consider what it should mean to build ‘‘smartness’’ or ‘‘intelligence’’ into the home. We introduce an argument suggesting that it is people who ...

When designing curves on surfaces the need arises to approximate a given noisy target shape by a smooth fitting shape. We discuss the problem of fitting a B-spline curve to a poin...
