Abstract In this paper we address whole-body manipulation of bulky objects by a humanoid robot. We adopt a "pivoting" manipulation method that allows the humanoid to disp...
The combinatorial problem of decomposing an integer matrix into a small positive linear combination of binary matrices that have the consecutive-ones property arises in cancer rad...
The swept volume of a moving solid is a powerful computational and visualization concept. It provides an excellent aid for path and accessibility planning in robotics and for simu...
