We present a new algorithm for unfolding planar polygonal linkages without self-intersection based on following the gradient flow of a “repulsive” energy function. This algor...

In the image plane, a 3 Dimensional movement of planar rigid object can be represented satisfactory by an affine motion of his boundary (the exterior contour) which we assume to b...
— The configuration space of a robot is partitioned into free space and C-obstacle space. Most of the prior work in collision detection and motion planning algorithms is targete...

— This paper presents an approach for haptic rendering of topological constraints to users operating serial virtual linkages. In the proposed approach, a haptic device controller...

This paper presents gesture analysis under the scope of motor control theory. Following the motor program view, some studies have revealed a number of invariant features that chara...
