Curved folding
Fascinating and elegant shapes may be folded from a single planar sheet of material without stretching, tearing or cutting, if one incorporates curved folds into the design. We pr...

Quadrilateral mesh simplification
We introduce a simplification algorithm for meshes composed of quadrilateral elements. It is reminiscent of edge-collapse based methods for triangle meshes, but takes a novel appr...

An Architecture for Distributed Environment Sensing with Application to Robotic Cliff Exploration
Future planetary exploration missions will use cooperative robots to explore and sample rough terrain. To succeed robots will need to cooperatively acquire and share data. Here a c...

Mesh quality improvement and other properties in the four-triangles longest-edge partition
The four-triangles longest-edge (4T-LE) partition of a triangle t is obtained by joining the midpoint of the longest edge of t to the opposite vertex and to the midpoints of the t...

Gliding spline motions and applications
We consider the ICP (iterative closest point) algorithm, which may in general be used for moving `active' elements such as curves and surfaces towards geometric objects whose...
