Industrial assembly involves sensing the pose (orientation and position) of a part. Efficient and reliable sensing strategies can be developed for an assembly task if the shape of...
We consider the problem of a robot which has to find a target in an unknown simple polygon, based only on what it has seen so far. A street is a polygon for which the two boundary...
Polygonal hybrid systems (SPDI) are a subclass of planar hybrid automata which can be represented by piecewise constant differential inclusions. The reachability problem as well as...
Abstract. Computing the visibility polygon, VP, of a point in a polygonal scene, is a classical problem that has been studied extensively. In this paper, we consider the problem of...
This paper investigates the problem of "formclosure"for three-fingered grasps of polygonal objects under various combinations of contact models at the contact points. We...
