—Triangulated meshes have become ubiquitous discrete surface representations. In this paper, we address the problem of how to maintain the manifold properties of a surface while ...
New product development involves people with different backgrounds. Designers, engineers, and consumers all have different design criteria, and these criteria interact. Early conce...
This paper addresses the problem of path planning for a class of deformable volumes under fairly general manipulation constraints. The underlying geometric model for the volume is...

The robot hand applying force on a deformable object will result in a changing wrench space due to the varying shape and normal of the contact area. Design and analysis of a manipu...
This paper analyze stability of an object grasped by soft-fingers in 3-dimensional space based on moment stability. We firstly define the moment stability as a criterion for stabil...
