Pulli kolam is a ubiquitous art form in south India. It involves drawing a line looped around a collection of dots (pullis) place on a plane such that three mandatory rules are followed: all line orbits should be closed, all dots are…
Kolam is a ritual art form practised by people in South India and consists of rule-bound geometric patterns of dots and lines. Single loop Kolams are mathematical closed loop patterns drawn over a grid of dots and conforming to certain…
Pulli Kolam is an ancient mathematical artform that is still practiced today in south India by over a quarter million people. "Pulli" in the Tamil language means dots. A specific type of pulli kolam is "sikku" kolam where a series of dots…
There is an increasing interest in telling serious stories with data. Designers organize information, construct narratives, and present findings to inform audiences. However, many of these practices emerge from modern information…
Robotic cloth manipulation faces challenges due to the fabric's complex dynamics and the high dimensionality of configuration spaces. Previous methods have largely focused on isolated smoothing or folding tasks and overly reliant on…
Robotic manipulation of cloth is a highly complex task because of its infinite-dimensional shape-state space that makes cloth state estimation very difficult. In this paper we introduce the dGLI Cloth Coordinates, a low-dimensional…
This paper shows a cut along a crease on an origami sheet makes simple modeling of popular traditional basic folds such as a squash fold in computational origami. The cut operation can be applied to other classical folds and significantly…
We investigated data embroidery with black-and-white textures, identifying challenges in the use of textures for machine embroidery based on our own experience. Data embroidery, as a method of physically representing data, offers a unique…
Point clouds are a fundamental representation for robotic perception tasks such as localization, mapping, and object pose estimation. However, LiDAR-acquired point clouds are inherently sparse and non-uniform, providing incomplete…
Self-organizing maps (SOMs) are a technique that has been used with high-dimensional data vectors to develop an archetypal set of states (nodes) that span, in some sense, the high-dimensional space. Noteworthy applications include weather…
Robotic tactile perception is a complex process involving several computational steps performed at different levels. Tactile information is shaped by the interplay of robot actions, the mechanical properties of its body, and the software…
Origami is the art of paper folding, and it borrows its name from two Japanese words \emph{ori} and \emph{kami}. In Japanese, {ori} means folding, and the paper is called {kami}. While origami is just a hobby to most, there is a lot more to…
Learning data storytelling involves a complex web of skills. Professional and academic educational offerings typically focus on the computational literacies required, but professionals in the field employ many non-technical methods;…
A characterization of real numbers constructible by paper folding.
Parallel coordinate plots (PCPs) are among the most useful techniques for the visualization and exploration of high-dimensional data spaces. They are especially useful for the representation of correlations among the dimensions, which…
Bharatanatyam, an Indian Classical Dance form, represents the rich cultural heritage of India. Analysis and recognition of such dance forms are critical for the preservation of cultural heritage. Like in most dance forms, a Bharatanatyam…
We introduce Correspondence-Oriented Imitation Learning (COIL), a conditional policy learning framework for visuomotor control with a flexible task representation in 3D. At the core of our approach, each task is defined by the intended…
Data analyses are often constructed in an imperative manner, where commands representing actions taken on the data are issued sequentially. The publication of these commands, along with the data, is essential to the reproducibility of the…
During the last decades, anatomy has become an interesting topic in education---even for laymen or schoolchildren. As medical imaging techniques become increasingly sophisticated, virtual anatomical education applications have emerged.…
When representing a solid object there are alternatives to the use of traditional explicit (surface meshes) or implicit (zero crossing of implicit functions) methods. Skeletal representations encode shape information in a mixed fashion:…
