This chapter is dedicated to the so-called cuspidal robots, i.e. those robots that can move from one inverse geometric solution to another without meeting a singular confuguration. This feature was discovered quite recently and has then…
Orthogonalization is one of few mathematical methods conforming to mathematical standards for approximation. Finding a consistent PC matrix of a given an inconsistent PC matrix is the main goal of a pairwise comparisons method. We introduce…
Let G = (V, E) be a planar triangulated graph (PTG) having every face triangular. A rectilinear dual or an orthogonal floor plan (OFP) of G is obtained by partitioning a rectangle into \mid V \mid rectilinear regions (modules) where two…
Tensegrity mechanisms have several interesting properties that make them suitable for a number of applications. Their analysis is generally challenging because the static equilibrium conditions often result in complex equations. A class of…
Orthogonal drawings, i.e., embeddings of graphs into grids, are a classic topic in Graph Drawing. Often the goal is to find a drawing that minimizes the number of bends on the edges. A key ingredient for bend minimization algorithms is the…
In this paper the orthogonal impulse response functions (OIRF) are studied in the non-standard, though quite common, case where the covariance of the error vector is not constant in time. The usual approach for taking into account such…
This paper studies the equilibrium formulation of a three degree of freedom planar compliant platform mechanism, which is in contact with a solid body in its environment. The mechanism includes two platforms, which are connected in parallel…
This paper proposes a novel 3D graphical representation for impedance control, called the impedance space, to foster the analysis of the dynamic behavior of robotic compliant controllers. The method overcomes limitations of existing 2D…
The assessment of laboratory animal behavior is of central interest in modern neuroscience research. Behavior is typically studied in terms of pose changes, which are ideally captured in three dimensions. This requires triangulation over a…
Approximating distance is one of the key challenge in a facility location problem. Several algorithms have been proposed, however, none of them focused on estimating distance between two concave regions. In this work, we present an…
The parallel orbital-updating approach is an orbital/eigenfunction iteration based approach for solving eigenvalue problems when many eigenpairs are required. It has been proven to be efficient, for instance, in electronic structure…
The geometric, aesthetic, and mathematical elegance of origami is being recognized as a powerful pathway to self-assembly of micro and nano-scale machines with programmable mechanical properties. The typical approach to designing the…
Knowledge of the mechanical properties of materials is required for the design and analysis of engineering products, however, the characterisation of heterogeneous properties using traditional techniques is limited by spatial resolution or…
Particle-wall interactions play a crucially important role in various applications such as microfluidic devices for cell sorting, particle separation, entire class of hydrodynamic filtration and its derivatives, etc. Yet, accurate…
We introduce and study the notion of orthosymmetric spaces over an Archimedean vector lattice as a generalization of finite-dimentional Euclidean inner spaces. A special attention has been paid to linear operators on these spaces.
The current paper summarizes studies undertaken on the corrugated cardboard. In these studies, a new approach considering the corrugated cardboard as an orthotropic material is developed. This approach permits after homogenization to…
