When Kinematics Dominates Mechanics: Locally Volume-Preserving Primitives for Model Reduction in Finite Elasticity
Xu Yi, Gregory S. Chirikjian
A new, and extremely fast, computational modeling paradigm is introduced here for specific finite elasticity problems that arise in the context of soft robotics. Whereas continuum…
Entropy, Symmetry, and the Difficulty of Self-Replication
Gregory S. Chirikjian
The defining property of an artificial physical self-replicating system, such as a self-replicating robot, is that it has the ability to make copies of itself from basic parts. Thr…
Look at my new blue force-sensing shoes!
Yuanfeng Han, Ruixin Li, Gregory S. Chirikjian
To function autonomously in the physical world, humanoid robots need high-fidelity sensing systems, especially for forces that cannot be easily modeled. Modeling forces in robot fe…
Towards Efficient Graph Convolutional Networks for Point Cloud Handling
Yawei Li, He Chen, Zhaopeng Cui +4
In this paper, we aim at improving the computational efficiency of graph convolutional networks (GCNs) for learning on point clouds. The basic graph convolution that is typically c…
LSG-CPD: Coherent Point Drift with Local Surface Geometry for Point Cloud Registration
Weixiao Liu, Hongtao Wu, Gregory Chirikjian
Probabilistic point cloud registration methods are becoming more popular because of their robustness. However, unlike point-to-plane variants of iterative closest point (ICP) which…
Closed-Form Minkowski Sums of Convex Bodies with Smooth Positively Curved Boundaries
Sipu Ruan, Gregory S. Chirikjian
This article derives closed-form parametric formulas for the Minkowski sums of convex bodies in d-dimensional Euclidean space with boundaries that are smooth and have all positive…
