Toward Active Cannulas: Miniature Snake-Like Surgical Robots
— We have developed a new class of continuously flexible snake-like robots, called active cannulas, that consist of several telescoping pre-curved superelastic tubes. The device...

CA Models of Myxobacteria Swarming
We develop two models for Myxobacteria swarming, a modified Lattice Gas Cellular Automata (LGCA) model and an off-lattice CA model. In the LGCA model each cell is represented by on...

Free-form modelling for surface inpainting
In this paper, we describe a novel approach to 3D shape modelling, targeting at the reconstruction and repair of digitised models – a task that is frequently encountered in part...

A Closest Point Algorithm for Parametric Surfaces with Global Uniform Asymptotic Stability
— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...
