A Dexterous Soft Robotic Hand for Delicate In-Hand Manipulation

Sylvain Abondance

In this letter, we show that soft robotic hands provide a robust means of performing basic primitives of in-hand manipulation in the presence of uncertainty. We first discuss the design of a prototype hand with dexterous soft fingers capable of moving obje ...

PointXR: A Toolbox for Visualization and Subjective Evaluation of Point Clouds in Virtual Reality

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou

In this study, we explore the use of virtual reality to subjectively evaluate the visual quality of point cloud contents. To this aim, we develop the PointXR toolbox, a set of Unity applications that can host experiments under variants of interactive and p ...

From Modular Origami Robots to Polygon-based Modular Systems: a New Paradigm in Reconfigurable Robotics

Christoph Heinrich Belke

A useful robot is one that fulfils its intended function. In a factory setting, where robots have been used successfully for decades, this function is often singular and clearly defined. Similarly, the surroundings of the robot are mostly known, sterile, a ...

Modelling Workflow for Segmented Timber Shells using Wood-wood Connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Petras Vestartas, Nicolas Henry Pierre Louis Rogeau

This paper presents a modelling method based on planarization for double-curved segmented timber shell made from quad polygons and assembled by wood-wood connections. The inspiration is taken from timber dome structures, where solid timber walls were built ...

Reparameterizing Discontinuous Integrands for Differentiable Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Guillaume Rémi Bruno Loubet

Differentiable rendering has recently opened the door to a number of challenging inverse problems involving photorealistic images, such as computational material design and scattering-aware reconstruction of geometry and materials from photographs. Differe ...

Generating High Fidelity Surface Meshes of Neocortical Neurons using Skin Modifiers

Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Cyrille Pierre Henri Favreau, Samuel Lieven D. Lapere

We present the results of exploring the capabilities of skinning modifiers to generate high fidelity polygonal surface meshes of neurons from their morphological skeletons that are segmented from optical microscopy slides. Our algorithm is implemented in B ...

Point cloud subjective evaluation methodology based on reconstructed surfaces

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou

Point clouds have been gaining importance as a solution to the problem of efficient representation of 3D geometric and visual information. They are commonly represented by large amounts of data, and compression schemes are important for their manipulation ...

Real-Time Generative Hand Modeling and Tracking

Anastasia Tkach

In our everyday life we interact with the surrounding environment using our hands. A main focus of recent research has been to bring such interaction to virtual objects, such as the ones projected in virtual reality devices, or super-imposed as holograms i ...

Geodesic Convolutional Shape Optimization

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Edoardo Remelli, Pierre Bruno Baqué

Aerodynamic shape optimization has many industrial applications. Existing methods, however, are so computationally demanding that typical engineering practices are to either simply try a limited number of hand-designed shapes or restrict oneself to shapes ...

Lighting simulation for External Venetian blinds based on BTDF and HDR sky luminance monitoring

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Yujie Wu

The precise daylighting simulation in buildings can potentially contribute to designers’ and occupants’ smart utilization of it. The traditional method of employing sky models was indicated with noticeable errors in transient lighting simulation for comple ...
